Definitely Gallipoli.

For TV Series about WWI, I would suggest “Blackadder Goes Forth.” Generally a comedy, but one of the most poignant endings ever.

Best song about WWI, “1916” by Motorhead.

Oh! what a lovely war. 1969
Paths of glory. 1950 something.
Hells Angels. 1930 something.
Paschendaele 2000 something.

The Lost Battalion hands down.

The best in my opinion.

Blackadde Goes Forth is excellent 6 episodes with one of the best endings ever.

I would add The Dawn Patrol (1936) with Errol Flynn & David Niven. Also excellent is Anzacs, an Australian mini-series with Paul Hogan before he made it big with Crocadile Dundee.

I want to add a strongly affirmative HELL YES! to Black Adder Goes Forth.

And here I thought I was the only one who'd ever watched it.
