1001 Movies Club - All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)
#51. All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)
Why It's In The Book: "Undiminished by time (and restored in 1998), this classic antiwar film, adapted from Erich Maria Remarque's novel, is a landmark for its vivid depiction of the Great War's tragedy from a German soldier's point of view, for its technically inventive, spectacular battle scenes (at the dawn of sound in film), and for its prescient denunciation of fanatic nationalism and militarism. Lew Ayres, only 21 years-old, became an international star for his beautifully natural performance... All Quiet On The Western Front was only the third film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, and war veteran Lewis Milestone received his second Oscar for direction. Interestingly, German censors passed the film despite violent protests by Nazi groups." -1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die

"The crushing sense of disillusion these young men face is what sets this apart from many other war films."

Squish - 8/10
"All Quiet On The Western Front, like The Bridge Over The River Kwai, Is Paris Burning?, and A Bridge Too Far, will remain a good memory of those days when I was changing my film habits from the current to the classic and dabbling into the realm of serious film study."

TSorensen - 8/10
"I have seen All Quiet… twice now and both times I sat back with that “wow!” feeling. It makes a massive impact. If that is a measure of quality then this is top notch. But do not show it to kids on the way to the front. They may not want to go after all."

KimWilson - 7.5/10
"The grim images captured are mesmerizing and realistic. The message of the complete uselessness of war is not heavy-handed here. Instead, the true reality of what war looks like is bitterly emphasized."
