Answer 2

Absolutely one of the best war movies ever made, the 1930s version of "All Quiet on the Western Front" There was a remake of this movie in the 1970s or 80s but the remake is not as good as the 1930s version.

Two other WW I movies are "Paths of Glory" and an old film from the late 1920s or 30s called "Wings" which was made using original WW I planes and many of the pilots in the movie were actual pilots from the war.

A Hollywood movie about WWI in Africa is "African Queen" with the giant Hollywood stars Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn. It is not totally historical but it is a great film.

Another great WWI film is "Gallipoli", about the Australian troops who were slaughtered in the fighting near Istanbul, Turkey.

A priest from New York, Father Dooley, wrote a book about the 69th "Irish" Regiment and their service in WWI and that was made into a famous movie with a big cast of Hollywood stars of the 1930/40 era. THe movie is called "The Fighting 69th" Many of the people in the film were based on real men from the actual regiment.

You won't regret it.

Answer 4

All Quiet on the Western Front. It can be slow but it's from the German point of view so it's a cool change. And it's based on a popular book.

Answer 5

All Quiet on the Western Front
