I've been wanting to see that movie for a long time. Where did you find it?
To answer the question in your OP: even though everyone sort of knows about the movie from the incessant "Hitler reacts" memes, I'll still say Downfall. It is easily one of the most incredible films I've ever seen. Bruno Ganz's portrayal of Hitler is jaw-dropping.

Come and See is based on Oskar Dirlewanger's SS Kommando uni "Dirlewanger" which started out as a battalion and later filled out to brigade strength.
Good movie.
There are many good Russian movies on the war, a few of the better ones:
Zvezda "The Star" 2002
Brestskaia krepost "The Brest Fortress" 2010 is a must watch wwII movie, based on the events of the start of the German invasion on June 21st. As told by the youngest musician Sasha Akimov who was 15 at the time of the events.
Father of a Soldier 1964 powerful, the fight in Berlin has some good scenes.
Shtrafbat Prisoner Battalion 2004 mini series very good.
28 panfilovtsev "Panfilov's 28" a new movie worth seeing.
I left out the ones most have already seen.
German must see is
Generation War this is the best WWII east front show from the German point of view.
I have near 40 Russian war films and can understand a lot of spoken Russian, just not that good at the speaking it.

I really hadn't heard about it until I watched on Netflix:
The Story of Film: An Odyssey
"Come and See" -
It's on Amazon for $2 to rent.

Downfall is famous for the Hitler parodies, but it's a good movie.

One film that has been forgotten by the general public since its release is A Bridge Too Far. That is by far one of the most impressive male ensembles ever assembled for a movie, and the film is a solid one to boot. Good directing, incredible production values, and battle sequences that still hold up almost 40 years later.

Has anyone seen and liked Waterloo (1970) - it's such an ambitious film (it was said that, during its making, director Sergei Bondarchuk was in command of the seventh largest army in the world.)
I really liked it and the epic scale. The cinematography and battle scenes are immense for a period film.

Restrepo for those that do not follow documentaries.

Battle of the Bulge and The Big Red One are good too.

It should be a must watch for any WW2/war/movie lover.
What's so grwat about it is The cast, but also, We rarely see the allies losing in western films. It showed the incredible will of soldiers combined with a task that was hopeless....hense the title.
I saw it for the first time in its entirety last year and could not stop thinking about it for days. It was one of the best war films I had ever seen.
