This is one of the greatest anti- war films ever. A must-view for anyone interested about humanity and the reality of the war. Old poiticians declare the war and the younger generation sacrifices their lives for nothing. Black and white…

The Bibliocommons system seems to combine the comments for two different versions of this story, the 1930 film, and the 1979 TV movie. The following is about the 1930 film.
Lew Ayres stars as a young recruit who undergoes the panoply of…

A stunning achievement in film history as an impressive anti-war movie.
But the world has repeated the same thing over and over again since that war.
What a pity!

Can’t say how it compares to the book; an early talkie that is more watchable and profound than all but a handful of films made since. Cinema usually shows events flowing relatively seamlessly, but one notices that ‘Front’ is a sequence…
If there's one thing that this 1930 production doesn't do, and, that is, paint a pretty picture of war (no matter whose side one might be fighting on).
"All Quiet On The Western Front" clearly shows the harsh realities of war from the…
Let's face it, folks - Coming from the "less-than-glamorous" perspective of a common soldier who's been forced to fight in battle on the front-lines - War is, indeed, ugly business.
As is clearly evident here in "All Quiet On The…

This is one of the greatest war films ever - in black & white or color. Based on the book that was published in 1929, the film is as pertinent today as when it was made. This deeply moving story is told from the point of view of a young…
I enjoyed this WW1 war DVD. It showed in a realistic way what war is really like. It is from a German perspective. It shows how the young were brainwashed at a young age. They were told to fight in a war without being told why they were…

Soldiers went through hell during WW1. They basically were human practice targets as the world engaged in its first modern war. To make it even worse, the causes for the start of WW1 are still kind of vague and the end of it was…

Condemns the delusion of military glory, now most applicable to ourselves.

Depressing to see what soldiers went through; folks back at home never had a clue what was going on at the front lines.

We watched this in History Class, it's really sad, it sincerely makes one reflect upon our soldiers and what they went though.

I read the book of All Quiet on the Western Front a while ago. I remember really liking it, but by the time I got around to watching the movie, I'd forgotten most of it. From the very first frame of this film I instantly recalled the tone…

This is a 131-minute American war film directed by Lewis Milestone in 1930, based on the Erich Maria Remarque novel of the same name.
