That's damn impressive, CJ! Amazing. Another one I left off the list which is a must watch is The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. I would make it an assignment, if it were in my power, for every nurse, doctor, and caregiver to watch that movie. You are full of surprises, CJ.

And as far as The Pianist is concerned, that's one incredible book by Wladislaw Szpilman - and while the movie is great, it's just not able to do the book justice - no movie would be. I'm quite pleased that Roman Polanski managed to put it together though - both Polanski and Brody deserved their academy awards. And if anyone can read anything by Primo Levi, they're my kind of person. Although I must admit that when I read a Primo Levi book, I'm not in a good mood for weeks.
