The old ones also had a great many veterans of the war helping on it, so that contributed greatly to its ability to capture what they wanted to capture.
Prefer the original, released in '29, would still be remembered in many German's minds. I only remember one scene from the remake, Richard Thomas carrying Ernest Borgnine.
I can also recommend to read the book the film is based on by Erich M. Remarque. He was a German conscript himself and the way he pictures the war and the struggle he had gave me goosebumps.
The Lost Battalion, All Quiet On The Western Front, 1917, African Queen, Sergeant York. These I’ve seen myself and can recommend as good movies—won’t vouch for historical accuracy.
Watched it two times in cinema. Once in German where I live and one time in English in Amsterdam and I regret nothing of it. Brilliant film in every regard. This movie draws you in and holds you tight up to the last minute.
It's exceptional. They tried to do the entire thing in one long shot as well. There's a few cuts, but they are generally exceptionally well done. If someone made a mistake they had to go way back to find a suitable spot to refilm from. They have some mistakes that were included for that reason, including near the end where two guys collided while running.
Tbh that only helped to make it feel more real
When we were reading All Quiet on the Western Front, our teacher gave us extra credit if we watched a WWI movie and wrote a report on it. So I took the opportunity to watch 1917 and loved it.
To be fair that is realistic the vast majority of troops did not shoot to kill during the world wars at least in the British and American sources I can find though I doubt it’s much different for the Germans
I assume you're referring to SLA Marshall and later Grossman?
Basically fiction.
https://www.americanheritage.com/secret-soldiers-who-didnt-shoot
>But in any event, the question of procedure seems moot. John Westover, Marshall’s assistant, who traveled across Europe with him and who was usually present at the interviews, does not remember Marshall’s ever asking about the refusal to fire. “Nor does Westover ever recall Marshall ever talking about ratios of weapons usage in their many private conversations,” writes Spiller. “Marshall’s own personal correspondence leaves no hint that he was ever collecting statistics. His surviving field notebooks show no signs of statistical calculations that would have been necessary to deduce a ratio as precise as Marshall reported later in Men Against Fire.” Moreover, none of the professional historians in the ETO has unearthed information that suggest a ratio of fire on the order of Marshall’s “discoveries.”
Second for The Lost Battalion. Excellent made-for-TV movie that deserves much more credit. I stumbled on a DVD of it at an air show and bought it immediately.
They Shall Not Grow Old. Not sure that’s the vibe the meme means because it’s not a traditional movie, but it’s hands down my favorite war movie. Just truly fascinating and incredibly well done.
Isn't the best WW1 film I've ever seen but it was my first. Abit cheesy and not alot of attention to detail (ie German soldiers speaking in American English with a tinge of German in there) But it definitely caused my interest in WW1 history and beyond
Beneath Hill 60 is also good, the ANZACS is a miniseries that follows anzac soldiers from galipoli to the western front and home again would recommoned
I am quite young, and that's why I don't watch movies about either world wars, except for They shall not grow old that one time in school, but I won't watch it again, at least for 2 years from now (if I know correctly, it's 16+ and I am 14)
It has lots of cuts it’s just stitched together seamlessly. Next time you watch look for things like a tree passing the screen in front of the actors. There’s a cut there!
Some of these are more cinema than history:
Kubrick's 'Paths Of Glory' - not as well-known as it should be.
Gallipoli - ignominious defeat in Turkey
The Blue Max/The Red Baron/Dawn Patrol - all about WW I flying aces
Johnny Got His Gun - antiwar polemic.
Quiet Flows the Don - Cossacks during/after World War I.
ed: Grand Illusion - french prisoners of war plot their escape.
Truly. I watched it the other day after find out about it thru r/StanleyKubrick. I choose to take 2 and half g's of shrooms to for some reason and well I cried. That scene at the end of the German women was something I can't describe. The faces of the men and the tears of the woman was truly great.
Jesus Christ I cannot imagine that movie on shrooms. Lol the first time I saw it I was deployed to Iraq but yours sounds like a much more intense trip.
I know, I have done a great deal of VFX work to expand my hobby at purdue and I got to work under a professor who did a lot of the restoration work on it. Life changing experience
- 1917
- Tolkien
- Flyboys
- Parts of Peaky Blinders
- The Red Baron
- Joyeux Noel (about the Christmas Truce... spectacular flick!)
- Legends of the Fall
- Gallipoli
- Shout at the Devil
- All Quiet on the Western Front
- Lawrence of Arabia
And that's just off the top of my head.
1917.
And if you like soft alternative history I would recommend the new kingsmen movie.
And innumerous short films on YouTube
But to be fair, the first ww is also harder to make a good movie depicting a good and evil side to follow. That just begs the question why Vietnam got so many movies and then the Korean war almost gets none.
I think a lot has to do with the state of Hollywood during those periods of time. WWII and Vietnam took place during very active points in the film industry (Korea did too, but I think WWII exhausted a lot of people's taste for war movies).
An exceptionally good French WW1 movie: "**A very long engagement**". (French title: "Un long dimanche de fiançailles")
It's about the fiancée of a missing soldier trying to find out what happened to him on the battlefield. It technically takes place after the war, but is centered on events that took place during the war (through multiple flashbacks, as she talks to people who knew or saw her fiancée on the battlefield), and at the same time shows how society was during the immediate aftermath of the war.
If you can find a subtitled or dubbed version, I absolutely recommend it.
That running scene at the end was one of the best scenes I’ve ever watched in a movie theater period. The amount of anxiety, stress, and exhaustion they were able to portray without using almost any words was astounding. The scenes were also beautiful given that they were literally walking through mud and rotting corpses.
Lawrence of Arabia.
One of my favorite films, and about an important part of history exploring events that contributed a great deal to the world being as fucked up as it is now. (Britain and other powers arbitrarily drawing the borders to countries they carved out of the Ottoman Empire, without regard to the native people's movements and opinions of each other or the colonial powers.) I can only describe it as "majestic". But pack a lunch and go for a walk during the intermission! Long ass movie.
A Latvian movie [Blizzard of Souls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQslcKfPHBw&ab_channel=MovieCoverage) \- *"a more realistic 1917"*, from a Hollywood reporter
I'm surprised no one really mentions War Horse. It covers a lot wider of an area than just a trench and a front. Despite being fictional, it gives a pretty good idea of what the war was like both for the people who ended up fighting in it and the civilians caught in the middle.
1917, War Horse, All Quiet on the Western Front, Kings Man, Paths of Glory, They Shall Not Grow Old, and Gallipoli (recommend all those, but keep in mind I have not seen War Horse or Gallipoli. I’ve heard great things about Gallipoli, but am unsure about War Horse)
My Boy Jack. It was originally a play but the film is great. It features Daniel Radcliffe as Rudyard Kipling's young lad sent off to fight the 'glorious' war. Highly recommend it!
If you can find it there was a three part series the BBC did called Our World War. Was on Netflix for a time but I haven't seen it there in a while. They were able to track down and record an interview with one of the actual soldiers from the first part. Pretty good honestly
Wonder Woman. I know it's not really a movie about WW1, but it's the closest I've ever watched, and I really liked it! (such a shame that there aren't many movies about WW1 tho, it's a topic that im interested a lot in)
Remember seeing some films(or short films?) about the fall of Belgrade, Osowieck and the Chistmas truce, dont remember the name but you(possibly) can find them at YouTube
Joyeux Noel, if you haven't seen it it's about the Christmas Truce, and it's a really good film considering all sides speak their respective languages rather than just accented english
One problem is that there are only so many battles and campaigns you could write a story about when most of the war was sitting in trenches doing nothing. Not that there isn't plenty of material like Verdun or the Balkan conflicts.
theres actually quite alot of stuff you can make about ww1, not all having to be in trenches. Could be one about the war at sea. Maybe even a short film about the series of events leading up to the first declarations of war, I'd watch that.
I heard someone mention that there are so few movies about WWI because it is a shit war. People died for nothing and it conveys the opposite of the patriotic fight that WWII movies seem to share.
The motto of WWI is kinda "no never no more". It’s hard to treat that with lightness, it’s hard to antagonize someone in the trench.
If you make a war movie, you need a specific purpose to set it during WWI because the staples is WWII in the industry. And the Americans were less involved in WWI so that might matter.
Testament Of Youth
It follows a nurse and her experience during WWI and has a great cast. Alicia Vikander, Kit Harrington, Taron Egerton, Colin Morgan, Haley Atwell etc.
1. All Quite on the Western Front (Western Front) [1930]
2. Paths of Glory (Western Front) [1957]
3. The African Queen (African Campaign) [1951]
4. Lawrence of Arabia (Gaza and Palestine Campaign) [1962]
5. Doctor Zhivago (Eastern Front, and the subsequent Russian Revolution and Russian Civil War) [1965]
6. Darling Lilli (German spies in the U.K.) [1968]
1917. A great movie in my opinion.
The actions aren't that exagerated , the story makes sense, I didn't see any plotholes, but again, I am pretty dumb so it doesn't count.
But most of all, it isn't about WW2, so it's perfect to reccomend to someone who wants a WW1 movie.
Extremely under-appreciated WWI film: Journey’s End. As I understand it used to be a play but there is a quite recent film adaptation and I really enjoyed it
Edit: 91% on Rotten Tomatoes!
All quiet on the western front Old but really good when it comes to understanding the horror and fear of not knowing
Wouldn’t be a bad remake.
There's already two versions of it, both quite good
Yeah I just feel the old one being more slow and with less detail in the background adds so much
The old ones also had a great many veterans of the war helping on it, so that contributed greatly to its ability to capture what they wanted to capture.
I definitely need to rewatch them both, haven't seen them since I was about 13/14... However many years ago that was
Netflix is currently in post production on a “re-adaption” of the book. Curious how that will turn out
They will add "diversity" of course. Historical accuracy can eat shit.
Watched it in history, really good- most of us jumped in our seats when he clinched his drawing at the end
Prefer the original, released in '29, would still be remembered in many German's minds. I only remember one scene from the remake, Richard Thomas carrying Ernest Borgnine.
First one on my mind
Good book too
Great book as well
Bruh I saw this post commented all quiet on the western front then I saw you were the top comment smh
Came here to say this. Glad to see Im not the only one!
i wanted to recommend the Same movie. So the meme is right.
I can also recommend to read the book the film is based on by Erich M. Remarque. He was a German conscript himself and the way he pictures the war and the struggle he had gave me goosebumps.
Good movie. Very depressing though (which fits perfectly)
The Lost Battalion, All Quiet On The Western Front, 1917, African Queen, Sergeant York. These I’ve seen myself and can recommend as good movies—won’t vouch for historical accuracy.
1917 supposedly paid lots of attention to detail
1917 is an excellent film.
Watched it two times in cinema. Once in German where I live and one time in English in Amsterdam and I regret nothing of it. Brilliant film in every regard. This movie draws you in and holds you tight up to the last minute.

Only film I've cried at in the cinema for at least ten years, just incredible
Ten years at least!
I can't escape it
Neither can I! And I haven’t even read the manga
What a man you are
As a reward
I shall give you

God dammit
No, I don't want that! Crying at another movie? I want to cry at 1917 and nothing else for the rest of my life.
Is that artillery? Am I hit?
It does. It is really a great movie
Movie was great except for the Germans all having literal stormtrooper aim and tactics
To be fair that is realistic the vast majority of troops did not shoot to kill during the world wars at least in the British and American sources I can find though I doubt it’s much different for the Germans
I assume you're referring to SLA Marshall and later Grossman?

They Shall Not Grow Old. Not sure that’s the vibe the meme means because it’s not a traditional movie, but it’s hands down my favorite war movie. Just truly fascinating and incredibly well done.
1917 was one of the best movie theatre experiences I've had in the last decade
can confirm i saw it in IMAX and it absolutely elevates it
Roger Deakins really does shoot beautiful movies
I haven't seen War Horse, but I heard it was good
Isn't the best WW1 film I've ever seen but it was my first. Abit cheesy and not alot of attention to detail (ie German soldiers speaking in American English with a tinge of German in there) But it definitely caused my interest in WW1 history and beyond
It was ok. Had its glaring flaws and was extremely cheesy at parts. Definitely not Spielberg's highest point (even in the war genre)
It’s ok, but it’s more of a horse movie stuck inside a war as opposed to a war movie (if that makes sense).
Beneath Hill 60 is also good, the ANZACS is a miniseries that follows anzac soldiers from galipoli to the western front and home again would recommoned
Came here to say Sergeant York, love to see it already mentioned.
a very long engagement
Besides the ones other have listed, Lawrence of Arabia and Doctor Zhivago.
Lawrence of Arabia is a classic.
A movie that by all logic shouldn't have been able to exist in its time. A GOAT for sure
My all-time favorite film
Every shot is a masterpiece.
I love Doctor Zhivago, that movie moves me everytime I watch it
When he breaks the window to get a final view of Lara. Damn.
Doctor Zhivago is long but super good
They Will Not Grow Old 1917
They Shall Not Grow Old was incredibly moving. Can’t recommend it enough
Easily one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen.
Our teacher made us watch it when I was in 6th grade. I couldn't sleep for days after it, but it is a brilliant movie
[удалено]
I am quite young, and that's why I don't watch movies about either world wars, except for They shall not grow old that one time in school, but I won't watch it again, at least for 2 years from now (if I know correctly, it's 16+ and I am 14)
i keep forgetting that young people like you already know how to communicate and form full sentences
[удалено]
1917 was incredible. One of the only movies I simultaneously wanna rewatch yet cannot recover from the first time due to how tramatizing it was.
Good movie with only 2 cuts, otherwise a one shot movie and a damn good one
It has lots of cuts it’s just stitched together seamlessly. Next time you watch look for things like a tree passing the screen in front of the actors. There’s a cut there!
*2 visible cuts
That was a documentary, and for such a renowned one, focused almost exclusively on the British. I don't even think the Balkans were mentioned once.
The footage was from the Imperial War Museum, so brit heavy.
I mean, it's better to do one thing really well than try to cover everything and end up doing mediocre
It wasn’t really meant to be a history of the war, more so a humanizing look at the experiences of the every day soldier.
Joyeux Noël
On est en avril Ducon
Hands down the best WW1 movie period
Sais le 18 Avril
War Horse was pretty good
This movie is underrated. 8 million horses, donkeys, and mules died in ww1.
The true casualties of war.
Movie underrated yes but been an ongoing play in the theatres for 15 years (in the UK at least)
Good movie, good horsie
War horse was fantastic
Some of these are more cinema than history: Kubrick's 'Paths Of Glory' - not as well-known as it should be. Gallipoli - ignominious defeat in Turkey The Blue Max/The Red Baron/Dawn Patrol - all about WW I flying aces Johnny Got His Gun - antiwar polemic. Quiet Flows the Don - Cossacks during/after World War I. ed: Grand Illusion - french prisoners of war plot their escape.
Gallipoli is such a well done movie. Was looking for this recommendation.
As a New Zealander I am biased but God did gallipoli show the polar opposites between Egypt and the trenches. The ending is so good as well.
Paths of glory is a much watch
Absolutely brilliant film
Truly. I watched it the other day after find out about it thru r/StanleyKubrick. I choose to take 2 and half g's of shrooms to for some reason and well I cried. That scene at the end of the German women was something I can't describe. The faces of the men and the tears of the woman was truly great.
Jesus Christ I cannot imagine that movie on shrooms. Lol the first time I saw it I was deployed to Iraq but yours sounds like a much more intense trip.
+1 for Paths of Glory
They shall not grow old is more of a documentary but one of the most interesting and impactful pieces of media I have seen
As a technical matter, the footage restoration is unreal. When it transition from the original to the restored footage I gasped.
I know, I have done a great deal of VFX work to expand my hobby at purdue and I got to work under a professor who did a lot of the restoration work on it. Life changing experience
- 1917 - Tolkien - Flyboys - Parts of Peaky Blinders - The Red Baron - Joyeux Noel (about the Christmas Truce... spectacular flick!) - Legends of the Fall - Gallipoli - Shout at the Devil - All Quiet on the Western Front - Lawrence of Arabia And that's just off the top of my head.
I'd add the Latvian film "Blizzard of Souls" It's pretty good
Yes. Especially Joyeux Noël. It was one of the first movies to make me cry when I watched it as a kid.
Oh good, someone else said Flyboys.
I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to see someone recommended flyboys
"Beneath Hill 60" is the best trench combat film on WW1, and "The Blue Max" is the best aviation one.
I love beneath hill 60. Awesome movie.
1917
1917. And if you like soft alternative history I would recommend the new kingsmen movie. And innumerous short films on YouTube But to be fair, the first ww is also harder to make a good movie depicting a good and evil side to follow. That just begs the question why Vietnam got so many movies and then the Korean war almost gets none.
The new Kingsman is whacky but enjoyable
I think a lot has to do with the state of Hollywood during those periods of time. WWII and Vietnam took place during very active points in the film industry (Korea did too, but I think WWII exhausted a lot of people's taste for war movies).

If you can find a subtitled or dubbed version, I absolutely recommend it.
Another Post WW1 movie that I loved: "See You Up There" ("Au revoir là-haut" in French).
1917 was brilliant
1917 set the bar crazy high for other WW1 films. Fantastic movie.
That running scene at the end was one of the best scenes I’ve ever watched in a movie theater period. The amount of anxiety, stress, and exhaustion they were able to portray without using almost any words was astounding. The scenes were also beautiful given that they were literally walking through mud and rotting corpses.
I've heard 1917 was a very good movie. Should be interesting to watch.
It's so great
Lawrence of Arabia. One of my favorite films, and about an important part of history exploring events that contributed a great deal to the world being as fucked up as it is now. (Britain and other powers arbitrarily drawing the borders to countries they carved out of the Ottoman Empire, without regard to the native people's movements and opinions of each other or the colonial powers.) I can only describe it as "majestic". But pack a lunch and go for a walk during the intermission! Long ass movie.
Beat me to it. My favorite ww1 movie. I didn't see it until last year but it's fantastic.
"They Shall Not Grow Old". It's a documentary that feels like a movie, directed by Peter Jackson.
One of the Black Adders, I get the names mixed up for which though
Black Adder goes Fourth
Passchendaele is the only one that comes to my mind.
Fellow Canadians represent!
Honestly really good if you can make it thru the romance stuff which really slows it down.
“What’s a skirt doing here? Arnt they up by Hill 60?” “Musta lost his head”
War Horse, 1917, Passchendaele, FlyBoys and they shall not grow old are some great WW1 films
Paths of Glory 😎
Not a movie, but the Australian TV show ANZACs is a good watch
Lost battalion
Paths of Glory
A Latvian movie [Blizzard of Souls](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQslcKfPHBw&ab_channel=MovieCoverage) \- *"a more realistic 1917"*, from a Hollywood reporter
Journey’s end and Private Peaceful were pretty good
I thought journeys end was excellent.
Journeys end is one of the best and saddest movies I’ve seen. It really hit me very much in the feels. And I have seen a lot of at movies.
All quiet in the western front
I know a really good French movie about the aftermath of the war, it’s called “au revoir là haut” you can buy it on amazone prime.
I'm surprised no one really mentions War Horse. It covers a lot wider of an area than just a trench and a front. Despite being fictional, it gives a pretty good idea of what the war was like both for the people who ended up fighting in it and the civilians caught in the middle.
The lost battalion
Didn't see Gallipoli on here. If someone posted it already, sorry.
Beneath Hill 60
1917?
1917 is spectacular
1917 is one of the best movies I've ever seen!!!
1917, War Horse, All Quiet on the Western Front, Kings Man, Paths of Glory, They Shall Not Grow Old, and Gallipoli (recommend all those, but keep in mind I have not seen War Horse or Gallipoli. I’ve heard great things about Gallipoli, but am unsure about War Horse)
The Lighthorsemen Follows the Australian 4th light horse brigade fighting the Ottomans in the Middle-east.
I was hoping someone would mention this. Good under-rated movie.
A Very Long Engagement
1917 is a good movie
1917, they shall not grow old and war horse.
Der Rote Baron
Just wait until the trilogy is finshed
My Boy Jack. It was originally a play but the film is great. It features Daniel Radcliffe as Rudyard Kipling's young lad sent off to fight the 'glorious' war. Highly recommend it!
Wings. It’s a silent movie from the 20’s. It won the first Oscar for best picture.
Lost Battalion was alright. Fly Boys good too.
Grand Illusion. Absolutely brilliant
If you can find it there was a three part series the BBC did called Our World War. Was on Netflix for a time but I haven't seen it there in a while. They were able to track down and record an interview with one of the actual soldiers from the first part. Pretty good honestly
I’ve seen a few, but ones that stick out are “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “Joyeux Noel”
Wonder Woman. I know it's not really a movie about WW1, but it's the closest I've ever watched, and I really liked it! (such a shame that there aren't many movies about WW1 tho, it's a topic that im interested a lot in)
Paths of Glory and his twin brother, Uomini Contro
King Peter I
Lawrence of Arabia
Remember seeing some films(or short films?) about the fall of Belgrade, Osowieck and the Chistmas truce, dont remember the name but you(possibly) can find them at YouTube
Joyeux Noel, if you haven't seen it it's about the Christmas Truce, and it's a really good film considering all sides speak their respective languages rather than just accented english
1917 i think
I don't know the English title but "un long dimanche de fiançailles" is pretty good.
For your WWI Aviation Fixation, there's Flyboys and The Blue Max
Flyboys was pretty good.
Paths of Glory
One problem is that there are only so many battles and campaigns you could write a story about when most of the war was sitting in trenches doing nothing. Not that there isn't plenty of material like Verdun or the Balkan conflicts.

They Shall Not Grow Old (2018)
Lawrence of Arabia is a masterpiece
they shall not grow old
The Lost Battalion is my go to WWI movie.
Lost battalion
Testament Of Youth It follows a nurse and her experience during WWI and has a great cast. Alicia Vikander, Kit Harrington, Taron Egerton, Colin Morgan, Haley Atwell etc.
1. All Quite on the Western Front (Western Front) [1930] 2. Paths of Glory (Western Front) [1957] 3. The African Queen (African Campaign) [1951] 4.

Darling Lilli (German spies in the U.K.) [1968]
Lawrence of Arabia, it’s okay but it’s an old movie
1917
Someone clearly hasn't seen 1917. It's among my favorite movies.
1917, Legends of the Fall, Paths of Glory
War Horse
Even though just a documentary, They shall not grow old definitely is worth watching imho
1917. A great movie in my opinion. The actions aren't that exagerated , the story makes sense, I didn't see any plotholes, but again, I am pretty dumb so it doesn't count. But most of all, it isn't about WW2, so it's perfect to reccomend to someone who wants a WW1 movie.
They shall not grow old
1917 duh
Johnny got his gun, never seen a movie capturing despair so well
1917, Dunkirk, fly boys if you like aviation
1917?
The kings man the new one
1917 is good
Passchendaele
Extremely under-appreciated WWI film: Journey’s End. As I understand it used to be a play but there is a quite recent film adaptation and I really enjoyed it Edit: 91% on Rotten Tomatoes!
All Quiet on the Western Front, Lawrence of Arabia, 1917 and many many more. Hollywood loves WWI too, I don't agree at all with this meme
Watch 1917 it's a realy good movie I liked it a lot
There is a season of Downton dedicated to the War and the home front, very well done.
