Originally posted by Capitalizt I know this probably doesn't count...more history than current politics but: The Pianist <---amazing look at WW2 through the eyes of one man during the Nazi occupation. When I say amazing, I mean FARKING AMAZING. I missed this at theaters and caught it on TV a few weeks ago. It's right up there with Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan as one of the greatest WW2 movies ever made. It offers a much closer (and frightening) view of life under the Nazi regime...truly a must see. http://www.amazon.com/Pianist-Adrie...87622893&sr=8-1

It counts, at least in my book...

I forgot to add a prop To Downfall just amazing:

Pianist in my #2 movie of all-time. However, it is non-fiction, and we're discussing fiction movies here.
