The Downfall is one of the best movies about being on the losing side of a war. It’s impressively accurate, and the acting is outstanding.
When I don’t know who I’m watching the movie with, I recommend Snatch or Amélie.
Remember, this was before the first moon landing in 1969. There were Apollo flights happening, like Apollo 8 that orbited the moon in December 1968. There was a strong commitment to advancing space flight.
In 1968, the movie presented things that could actually happen, by the year 2001. Much more like a bunch of product announcements rather than science fiction (long ago in a galaxy far, far away).
The Conversation is well worth watching for someone interested in surveillance and paranoia.
The mysterious story draws you in, and the epic takes make you forget that nothing makes sense.
