“The Big Parade” was good. It is the only silent movie that has ever held my attention.

Paths of Glory is brilliant. Don't see War Horse, it is an embarrassment compared to the wonderfully inventive stage version which I saw both in London and New York City. Spielberg stupidly said after the filming that “real horses can't act!” Guess he never saw Lonely Are the Brave. But nothing can compare to the giant puppets used in the stage version of War Horse which reduced audiences to quiet contemplation on the horrors of war.

All Quiet on the Western Front and Gallipoli come to mind. There are so many others - one by Abel Gance which slips my mind.

The charge on Beersheeba was magnificent.

Not technically a movie but at 6 half hour episodes you can watch it in one sitting: Blackadder Guest Forth. For a comedy it’s pretty severe, especially the final episode.

Peter Jackson has put considerable effort into colorizing and speed correcting old WWI footage.

In the theatres now in the UK.

Looks amazing.

Check out that Model T with the Vickers gun on the back - that must be where the ragheads with Toyota pickups got the idea.

There is one I watched a few months ago that is pretty good, based on a true story:

“Fraulein Doktor”

You can now see French and German war films of the 1920s - Wooden Crosses, J'accuse, Westfront 1918 - on DVD in the Criterion collection.

Some of them are quite good and stand up well to Wings, All Quiet on the Western Front, and other Hollywood pictures of the era.

You can also see contemporary French or films about the war - A Very Long Engagement, Life and Nothing But, Joyeux Noel (Merry Christmas).

Then there are creepy ones like Frantz and The White Ribbon (which isn't a war film but is set in 1914 is supposed to have some symbolic connection with the war).

Jules and Jim is another period picture that makes reference to the war.

Gallipoli is also worth seeing.

A personal favorite: the musical Oh, What a Lovely War.

It was supposed to be scathingly anti-war, but the surviving veterans of the war loved to hear the old songs once again.

Anzac Nurses was a good Australian TV series set in the war years.

Britain has The Crimson Field with a similar setting and themes.
