Greatest anti-war film of all time

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2002)

Although made over 70 years ago, Lewis Milestone's " All Quiet on the Western Front" is the greatest anti-war film of all time. There isn't a single false moment in this entire film. This is the quintessential film that shows the idiocy of war. War is all about a group of old men sending their youth to die for a cause that has nothing to do with anything. None of these young German soldiers have the foggiest idea why they're being sent to fight and this film captures that spirit. War sucks and "All Quiet on the Western Front" conveys that feeling in a way that no war film has captured since. 100 years from now (if man is still alive) this film will still be the greatest anti-war story of all time. It should be required viewing of everybody.
