i watched it 10 times. Usually I hate subtitles, too much work, but that movie was fantastic. As a kid my Dad took me to see Alex Guinness as H in “Hitler the Last 10 Days” a cheap but entertaining movie so I read about 5 books on subject before Downfall and you really feel like you are there.

Agreed.

But I did have a bit of guilty pleasure over some scenes.
Laughing at some scenes in a movie like that just didn't seem right.
But I admit I laughed when:
When the magistrate started to ask Hitler and Eva about their
Aryan bona fides as part of his duty in performing marriages.

And some subordinates wise-cracking criticism of Hitler's
personal habits (non-smoker? vegetarian?).

It certainly set a record for most YouTube parodies.
