Underground (1995)
Ratings: 8,2/10 from 38.883 users
Underground mengikuti kisah perjalanan hidup sepasang sahabat, Blacky dan Marko, mulai dari invasi Reich-nya Hittler ke Jugoslavia, era perang dingin, sampai perang saudara Jugoslavia pada awal dekade 1990-an.
Film yang dibawakan dalam nuansa humor surealis ini menyorot sepak terjang masing-masing karakter dan bagaimana mereka berinteraksi dengan keadaan sekitar. Blacky yang idealis dan romantis, tak pernah bisa menerima kenyataan bahwa mereka harus tunduk pada kekuasaan asing. Dia berjuang dengan berbagai cara untuk memastikan bahwa kedaulatan negaranya tetap terjaga. Pada sebuah kesempatan, dia sangat tersudut sehingga memaksanya mengungsi ke bawah tanah. Hal ini berbanding terbalik dengan Marko yang lebih dinamis dan oportunis, meskipun keduanya sama-sama berjuang untuk tanah airnya. Kemudian sampailah pada adegan yang absurd, Marko mengelabui Blacky agar tetap tinggal di bawah tanah dengan alasan perang masih berlangsung. Padahal sebenarnya perang sudah lama usai, dan Marko, yang kini menempati posisi penting dalam birokrasi Yugoslavia dibawah pemerintahan Tito, memanfaatkannya demi kepentingan pribadi. Tinggalnya Blacky di bawah tanah ini semacam simbol pengawetan idealisme dalam diri Blacky yang tak terkontaminasi oleh pengaruh luar. Dan ketika Blacky keluar, kita melihat bagaimana ketidakmampuan untuk menafsirkan keadaan bisa berakibat sangat fatal.

The World at War (1973–74) is a 26-episode British television documentary series chronicling the events of the Second World War.

The Sinking of the Laconia (TV Mini-Series 2010)
IMDb Ratings: 7,0/10 from 675 users

Documentary telling the true story of the sinking of the liner Laconia by a German U-boat in 1942 through the eyes of six survivors.
The Sinking of the Laconia is a two-part TV film, first aired on 6 and 7 January 2011 on BBC Two, about the Laconia incident; the sinking of the British ocean liner RMS Laconia during World War II by a German U-boat, which then, together with three other U-boats and an Italian submarine, rescued the passengers but was in turn attacked by an American bomber.
The film is a British-German co-production, written by Alan Bleasdale, directed by Uwe Janson, and with Andrew Buchan, Brian Cox, Ken Duken, Morven Christie, Lindsay Duncan, Thomas Kretschmann and Franka Potente in the leading roles.
Six hundred miles from the coast of Africa, in September 1942, a German U-boat, U-156, sinks the British troopship Laconia which is en route from Cape Town to the United Kingdom.[a]
When realising that there are POWs and civilians on board, and that they are facing certain death without rescue, U-boat Commander Werner Hartenstein (Duken) makes a decision which goes against the orders of German high command. The U-boat surfaces and Hartenstein instructs his men to save as many of the shipwrecked survivors as they can.[b] Hartenstein also attempts to dive with all the survivors on board and, though this puts the submarine into a crash dive, control is regained and it resurfaces. He also has a Red Cross flag displayed and a message sent to the Allies to organise a rescue of the survivors. The Italian prisoners are taken off U-156 by another U-boat and an Italian submarine[c].
Sierra Leone had informed the Americans to look for Laconia survivors but not of the submarine's rescue efforts. Soon after the Americans' attack, U-156 resumes her hunting duties, leaving behind the lifeboats with the British survivors to be picked up by a Vichy naval surface ship sent by Karl Dönitz. While admiring Hartenstein's actions, Dönitz also reluctantly composes the Laconia Order to other U-boat commanders not to rescue survivors in future. The French ship arrives; one lifeboat leaves the others to make for the coast of west Africa, which it eventually reaches. One British merchant seaman is injured in the American attack and remains with U-156 until it reaches port, where he is taken into captivity. Dönitz awards Hartenstein the Ritterkreuz and offers him a desk job at naval command. Preferring to remain with his men, Hartenstein refuses it and a final on screen message reports U-156's later sinking with no survivors.mentary telling the true story of the sinking of the liner Laconia by a German U-boat in 1942 through the eyes of six survivors.

The Gathering Storm (2002) (Winston Churchill Drama)
A love story offering an intimate look inside the marriage of Winston and Clementine Churchill during a particularly troubled, though little-known, moment in their lives.
SYNOPSIS
In Great Britain, in the mid-1930s, 60-year-old Winston Churchill is wrestling with a multitude of private and public demons. Privately, his family's fortune has been severely depleted by the stock market crash. Publicly, the man who was once the most dynamic Member of Parliament, with a gift of oratory that kept the House of Commons buzzing, is now seen as an over-the-hill, out-of-touch blowhard.
But the aging statesman stubbornly refuses to fade away. Winston continues to speak his mind, impervious to criticism and refusing to toe the party line. In the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, Winston sees a new threat to the security of Europe and Great Britain. But like an overwhelming majority of his countrymen, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin is loathe to do anything that might lead to another Great War, and Winston's warnings go unheeded.
Then, one of Winston's political allies shows him a top-secret report that Hitler is ordering owners of civilian aircraft to register with the Air Ministry. Winston immediately recognizes that this could be what he needs to persuade his critics to take the German leader seriously. As more secret foreign-policy documents are smuggled to him, Winston reveals the increasingly unsettling information in speeches before Parliament. He finally gets Parliament's attention - as well as that of the Prime Minister, who wants to muzzle Winston and uncover the source of the intelligence leak.
Winston's political stock is now on the rebound, but his personal life is not. Frustrated by years of living in her husband's domineering shadow, his wife, Clemmie has decided to go on an "adventure" abroad - accompanied by a handsome middle-aged bachelor named Terence Philip. Jealous and lonely, Winston fights through his separation by continuing to rail publicly against Hitler and the dangers of Germany's military buildup. Eventually, Clemmie returns and Winston is eager to rebuild their relationship. As events unfold on the political scene, Winston finds his popularity in Britain soaring - and his predictions about German aggression coming true.
When the Nazis invade Poland in 1939, Baldwin's successor, Neville Chamberlain, declares war on Germany and appoints Churchill First Lord of the Admiralty. This appointment marks the redemption of a man who, only a year earlier, was considered completely washed up. Arriving at Admiralty Headquarters, Churchill informs the guard he is the new First Lord. The guard replies that the fleet has already received the signal that "Winston is back." Churchill's reply is as succinct as it is robust:
"And so he bloody well is!"
