[B]All Quiet on the Western Front[/B].  Netflix.  German with subtitles.  Cinematically gorgeous, even when portraying ugly, horrible things, which is most of the time.  Flares over a smoke filled stretch of battlefield for example.  Daniel Bruhl is the only actor that is well known here, but the cast does a really good job.  What it does well, as any good WWI movie should, is strip away any false sense of glory from the reality of war.  The kids signing up early in the film thought they'd see glory and honor, and were met with cold, death, mud and relentless horror.   I liked 1917 better, it's more entertaining and novel, but it was refreshing to see this one from the German perspective.  Unlike WWII, there really weren't good or bad guys in this war.  Long, a bit slow at times, but recommended.  Also recommend the [URL='https://www.historial.fr/en/']Museum of the Great War[/URL] if you are in France (we stopped on the way from Paris to Bruges).
