I saw that one a few weeks ago on TV. Robert Carlyle doing the Hitler was fascinating.
It is interesting to watch a Hitler movie from Britain, a good one actually.

My own recommendation would be von Donnermarck's outstanding movie "The Life of Others" (Oscar for best foreign language film yesterday). It shows how the former East Germany, relatively tiny with 16 million people, was controlled by the East German Ministerium für Staatssicherheit (Stasi) that had about 90.000 employees and a network of hundreds of thousands unofficial employees who filed secret reports about co-workers, neighbours, friends and familiy members, voluntarily or because they were blackmailed to collaborate.

The same thing in "brown":
If you are more into Geheime Staatspolizei (Gestapo), then I would recommend "Sophie Scholl-the last days". This movie is based on the original Gestapo interrogation protocols that were rediscovered some years ago. Question (SS man Robert Mohr), anwer (Sophie Scholl).
