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.

One of my favorites: “What Price Glory,” with James Cagney
and Dan Daily and a very young Robert Wagner. Good supporting cast. A remake of a 1920’s silent movie with the same name.

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

The Lost Battalion hands down.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0287535/

The best in my opinion.

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been reading WW1 books for years and have a keen interest in it ever since I got a book about it from my grandfather.

I guess technically, you could include “Doctor Zhivago”, since a significant portion dealt with Russia’s role in WWI before the Bolsheviks took over.

“All quiet on the western front”....the final scene where the soldier reaches for the butterfly always stayed with me..

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.
