Downfall
Downfall
Charting the last 10 days of Hitler's life, from his 56th birthday on April 20th, 1945 to his suicide on April 30th, Downfall uses multiple characters to show the chaos of a country coming apart at the seams, from Hitler's henchman under the streets of Berlin, to the soldiers and civilians fighting and dying as the Soviet Army ravaged the city above. Nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2005.

It's slightly unnerving, because you might find yourself sympathetic towards Hitler at times. The movie held my attention, and seemed very real. It's not a movie I wish needed to be made, but it tells a story that I think is important to remember.
