As you know, "All Quiet on the Western Front" was written by Erich Maria Remarque, in 1928 or 1929.
What you do not know is that Remarque, a man impoverished by the Great War, and his wife had triplets just 2 years after the war. Remarque fainted after the second baby was born, and the doctor commented after the third one was born: "That last Remarque was uncalled for."

Parts of War Horse were interesting. All in all, it was a long and hard movie to watch, but it had it’s moments.

Ive been reading WW1 books for years and have a keen interest in it ever since I got a book about it from my grandfather. When I was young and during my 20s I used to tell people and friends that when they got down and felt that life was getting to be too hard or demanding, to read about the front during WWI and that it would help get them back into the proper perspective, that is a very depressing war.

How about The Lighthorsemen - somewhat of a dark horse (pardon the pun) but an interesting study on tactical flexibility using cavalry durng WWI.
Your picks are just fine. My particular watch-them-mucho-times favorites are Sgt. York and Paths of Glory.

Very true. I’ve even written a couple of songs (metal) about it. Finally Iron Maiden did Paschendale a few years ago.

I don’t think Lost Battalion is the best, but it’s definitely top ten. They go a little overboard on the NYC gangster motif, but the visuals are excellent and the portrayals are very well acted.

The Lighthorsemen,
It is a 1987 Australian feature film about the men of a World War I light horse unit involved in the 1917 Battle of Beersheeba. The film is based on a true story and most of the characters in the film were based on real people.
