I liked "Lost Battalion". Well worth renting.

Forgetting that Rick is one of us, this made for TV Movie is a real Gem. Plus I heard a Lib elitist once label it as racist due to the authentic language the troops used describing each other (Wop, Mic . . .. you get the picture) The true story of the famous “Lost Battalion” in the Ardenne forest. The Camera work is the same as in the “Band of Brothers.” Gritty, Heroic, realistic, against all odds depiction of our brave fighting Men. The latter scene when the Germans attack with flame throwers is gut wrenching. Man those guys had courage.
The 77th "Liberty" Division - A National Guard Unit that probably fought harder than any other unit in WWI...

Paths of Glory - 1957, with Kirk Douglas - was one of the best.
Blue Max for the aviation shots.
Dawn Patrol.

Was that the one that had Cagney as a member of the 69th (Fighting Irish) Infantry Regiment?
Great Movie!

No. "Paths of Glory" had Kirk Douglas and Adolph Menjou in a story about the French army mutiny of 1915.

“All’s Quiet on the Western Front" (Lew Ayers)
IMO one of the ten best motion pictures ever made.

Don't forget "The Big Parade", 1925, directed by King Vidor, starring John Gilbert. A great silent film about the war.
