  Try watching both in German for max effect.

  I've watched Downfall (Der Untergang) 4 times and still I'm not sick of it.. The show was nice but why did the German Police kill Kranz's parents?

  Watch it and you'll have second thoughts about a "glorious" war.

  Here are 3 movies I HATE:
  
  - We Were Soldiers
  (Hated the book also.)
  
  - Thin Red Line
  (Trying to be an art film)
  
  - Windtalkers
  (Trying to be a HK kungfu film. Everytime I see his trademark pigeon scene I want to puke. He should really retire as every film is the same. Someone leaping through the air slow motion firing guns with inexhaustible ammo supply etc...)

  2 decades ago I saw this French war film called Dien Bien Phu, about the French defeat in Vietnam. Very good. Gave a good account of themselves and also of the Viet Minh. Very big budget, lots of real Vietnamese soldiers as extras. Beautifully shot for a war film.
