oh my god, I LOVE "All Quiet on the Western Front"!

Death Watch, a WW1 horror movie but pretty interesting either way.

The Lost Batallion, I think it's called.

[QUOTE=skam;21858502]All Quiet on the Western Front[/QUOTE] I definitely recommend this one. I was surprised to see how great this movie was considering I watched it in school. Five stars.

[QUOTE=skam;21858502]All Quiet on the Western Front[/QUOTE] Seconded here, awesome movie. Better than most of today's movies, even without special effects and that junk

[QUOTE=mrpwn;21869480]Death Watch, a WW1 horror movie but pretty interesting either way.[/QUOTE] That movie was kinda weird.

Well, everything good has already been suggested. If you don't like old black & white movies then you aren't going to see the best one, that being All Quiet on the Western Front.

the red baron

Can anyone remember the name of a recent film set in World War 1 about Canadian troops? I heard it(Whatever it may be) was actually alright.

What the hell? Not a single mention of Sgt. York?

Swindlers List is a favourite of mine.

All Quiet on the Western Front is better as a book, but the movie was great also, even for an old black and white.

My Boy Jack is a pretty good one IMO. Watched it in English class a few months ago.

What makes it even more fantastic is that it actually happened. It shows human compassion and peace in the midst of a terrible war. They Cease fire, get to know each other, and even hold a mass. Then, back to killing. It's impossible to kill someone who you just met as a friend mere hours age. It's gut wrenching, but nevertheless, amazing.

[QUOTE=skam;21858502]All Quiet on the Western Front[/QUOTE] I prefer the first one tho not the re make.

Oh yea that movie, can't remember the name... Think it was something like "Battle of...", not sure. I really didn't like it, it's basically Pearl Harbour in a WW1 (infantry) setting.

The movie is Paschendale, just read the youtube comments.

Guess I should have checked the second page...

Hey this thread is kinda good. No "You can't make a movie about it because they'd be sitting in a trench all the time". Only seen death watch and fly boys so far. But the other movies posted seem ++ movies. Gotta check em out sometime.
