You could always try the 1 month free trial of Netflix and cancel a day before it expires for a few weeks of unlimited streaming :). A typical movie uses about a GB of data or less, I can't recommend any movies based on your preferences because I don't particularly open that door, If you want your mind blown how ever I can recommend (Eraserhead, Mullholand Dr, Repulsion, and Videodrome) all older titles. I myself am 19 and I love these movies, but its up to you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
