I just saw "Der Untergang" yesterday. Definitely recommended!!!
I'm not quite sure if it has been translated to english but even so you should see it in the original language (German) with subtitles.
Hitler is every bit as grotesque as one would expect. The scary part is that you also get to see a "human" side of him which makes him even more disturbing!
One of the great things is the way the movie incorporates tiny details from archive fotage like a nervous tick in Hitler's left hand which also appears in an old archive clip (the cameraman shooting that clip is also in the movie! )
Apart from the events taking place below the Reichs Chancellery there's some great cityfight scenes and the movie really captures the horror and absurdity taking place in Berlin 1945.
It is not a movie with great heroes like you might expect from your typical American WW2 movie but something much darker and sinister and in many ways more like a historical document than a piece of entertainement.
Anyway: check it out. 
Cheers!

Hi, is this the one with Bruno Gantz (not completly sure how it's spelt, however I really like him as an actor), if it is then I am looking forward to it, (and it will be out in English). 
Oh, it's called the down fallen or something like that.
