B. Raaaaaar!
Well, put it this way. I'm a big kid and I've never seen Schindler's list. (Ignorance is bliss.)

I'm Jewish. When I was in 8th grade at a Jewish school, we studied the Holocaust in our Jewish History class every day for a year.
I've never seen Schindler's List.
I saw Jurassic Park in the theater 6 times, plus lots of other times on TV, VHS, and DVD. I was 22 when it was released.

That didn't stop people from watching Fellowship Of The Ring multiple times.

I'm guessing these stats are about accurate for me:

Schindler's List
It has Spielberg's best gore and violence because it is up close and personal. Plus the SS uniforms look slick in black and white colour.

After I watch Schindler's List, I feel like I have to go help humanity some way, like I am just not doing enough in the world.
Jurassic Park, on the other hand, I feel no remorse for those dinos...

I've seen them each once. I'm sure I'll watch Schindler's List again one day.

I must be crazy cause I've seen Schindler's List at least 10 or 11 times. And that's not counting the times I've only watched bits and pieces of it. I thought it was amazing. The only thing that bothers me about it is that there was too much English spoken in it. I wish more of the real languages with subtitles could've been used to make it more realistic. No one else has watched it this much?
I've seen Jurassic Park about 5 or 6 times.

I've watched "Jurassic Park" more often, because obviously it's an easier and lighter movie, and you can more easily watch individual scenes. But it's interesting: The more times I watch "Jurassic Park," its flaws become more apparent and the movie seems weaker, whereas every time I watch "Schindler's List," my admiration for it grows.
That Spielberg has no variety in his filmography...

Whoa! My faith in this forum has decreased dramatically after seeing how many people have NOT seen Schindler's List.
Of Course I've seen JP more often than SL for reason previously stated. But as sad and emotionally draining of a film that Schindler's List is, I still try to watch it every 1 or 2 years.
I'll also agree that Jaws is Spielberg's best film thus far, and for the record, I've seen it more than JP and SL combined.

I like both movies but Schindler's list is probably my all time favorite movie ever, it could change your life or push your life in a different direction... It's that good. I love Jurassic Park as a good action film, and the special effects for that time were awesome!
Besides 1993 has a special place in my heart.

Jurassic Park...easily.
It's a classic and THE movie to demo your home theater. I have watched the T-Rex attack scene over 100 times.
SL was ok but not a movie I would watch over and over again.
