I saw "Downfall" last night. Bruno Ganz was incredible as Hitler, as was whoever played Goebbells and Himmler. The movie however centered on the lower echelon staff of the FuhrerBunker and ordinary Berliners as doom approached.

The movie seem a little bit too long, but it was very informative and mesmerizing in most parts. The escape from Berlin by Hitler's pretty young secretary (whose autobiography was one of the main sources) was harrowing and apocalyptic, as was the street fighting by young 12 year old boys.
