Some are good, some are bad. some are respectful, others are NOT. From the deeply affecting Come and See to the incredibly tasteful Blubberella to that one where a wood pigeon fights Nazi peregrine falcons, the second World War has spawned countless movies and documentaries. This list includes wartime propaganda, movies about events leading up to and following the war as long as they are related to World War 2. This is an incomplete list of as many as I could find in order of average rating (high to low), feel free to suggest films I've missed.

To play roulette using this list use random.org to generate a number between 1 and however long this list is at the moment. Then find the movie with that rank. For example, if your number is 3 your movie is The Human Condition. Ranks may change over time due to this list being ranked by average rating (high to low).
Quick note on what counts, people fighting zombie nazis in WW2 counts, people fighting zombie nazis in the 21st century with no other connections to ww2 excluding the zombie nazis doesn't count. A documentary about holocaust survivors and/or their children and the impact ww2 and the holocaust had on them counts. A documentary on the resurgence of anti-semitism and neo-nazis doesn't count (unless there is a significant attachment to ww2). A film about the Second Sino-Japanese War counts, this includes films that don't necessarily intersect with World War 2 specifically. all those softcore nazisploitation movies from the 70's count... unfortunately.
