All quiet on the western front.

The original, not the recent remake.

No other movie managed to capture the despair and uselessness of wars, and the carnage of the Great War in specific, in such detail. Considering it's almost 100 years old now, that's really saying something!

Edit: The movie is actually so old that it will enter public domain on January first 2026, so in less than half a year from now.

The new one is also very good.

We will soon rewatch both as a Double Feature in my home cinema... in German of couse:
