my friend referred the movie Deathwatch and i absolutely loved it. Actually i'm not even sure if it was set in ww1 or the civil war (didn't they use muzzleloaders in the civil war?). I'm pretty sure it was ww1. so anyways i want to see more ww1 movies.

I'm mainly interested in more recent movies, e.g. 80s & 90s, i'm not a big fan of anything pre-1970 =)

World War I was a popular subject for moviemakers between the World Wars, and afterwards besides.
Some of the best from the Silent Era are:
1. Shoulder Arms (Charlie Chaplin)
2. The Big Parade (John Gilbert)
3. Wings (Buddy Rogers, Clara Bow)
4. What Price Glory?
5. Lilac Time
More modern films include:
1. All Quiet on the Western Front
2. KIng and Country
3. The Blue Max
4. Galipoli
5. Oh, What a Lovely War
6. Paths of Glory
4.

All Quiet on the Western Front and Sergeant York are the only two that come to mind. In WWI they used a bolt-action Springfield rifle. In the Civil War they used the Percussion Cap Muzzleloaders like the Enfield, the Springfield, The Spencer, and the Henry.

The Lighthorsemen or Gallipoli. Or you could try a 60's film called Oh What A Lovely War. Its an anti-war musical.

All Quiet on the Western Front and Sergeant York are with sound......but a real treat is to find a copy of WINGS -its a silent picture--fun to see though

My familiar won't be a action picture, this is Band of Brothers, a television mini sequence produced via Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg between others. this relies on the testimony of a few individuals of the common enterprise, so which you will have confidence the data there. i've got been advised Saving inner maximum Ryan is like Band of Brothers (it grow to be directed via Spielberg), so it must be a solid determination.
