WWI movies

The thread started by Radar made me remember a discussion one of my best friends and I were having one night about the lack of good WWI movies. Neither of us could think of any the night we were discussing. Of course there is All Quiet on the Western Front, that one had slipped our minds, but we can't think of any others.

This mainly came up due to the fact that we both realized that people just don't know that much about what happened during WW1. It isn't studied nearly as much as WWII in school. It's kind of odd as a lot of the events that occured after The Great War that led the second World war.

One of my favorites is The Victors

one of the most depressing movies of all time - definitely an anti-war movie as opposed to much of the current drivel we've seen lately.

And of Course: Das Boot!!
