The Bunker (1981)
Since the miniseries is obsessed with anything related to World War II, Adolf Hitler pops up a lot. In "The Bunker," he pops up to be played by Anthony Hopkins, who won an Emmy for his work, taking on one of the craziest roles of his career (his actual career, not the crap he churned out after winning an Oscar and deciding to phone in the rest of his performances).
He comes closer than most Hitlers to being human, because he's such a damn amazing actor, but the piece is very clear that he's no hero. He's a dying man, his nerves worn and his mind eaten away, and Hopkins is masterful, creating a fleshed-out character, but making sure not to overdo the pleas for sympathy because that would be cinematically unrealistic and historically untrue.
