All Quiet On The Western Front (1930)


The harrowing true story of a group of young schoolfriends who join up to fight in the trenches of the First World War only to find it doesn't live up to their romantic idyll of warfare. Some moments may seem dated now, such as the slightly sped up action scenes, but the horrors of war are even more striking being portrayed in a time before special effects, when these events were still fresh and were to reoccur a decade later.
