The Pianist, Schindlers List, Boy in the striped Pjamas, pretty much any holocaust movie. Also, a movie called 'All's quiet on the western front' about the first world war , is very depressing ): And don't forget the titanic.
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.
