Very much recommend.

Yes indeed another good one and let us not forget the great performance from the late Ronnie Barker as Winston's butler. And of course Albert Finney as Winston Churchill a great performance. |
HBO definitely does some great stuff.
I thought
Conspiracy was good, but not as good as
Downfall.
The Gathering Storm I thought was a dry.
I would also recommend
Stalin with Robert Duvall, also by HBO Films. My favorite part of the movie is the Nikita Krushchev character. In every scene he is eating, drinking, laughing, and generally spitting all at the same time. He's a total idiot. Until, a scene in the bathroom towards the end of the movie, when his face become totally serious, and totally deadpan says basically that acting like an idiot is how he survives.
