"What's the AFI Project, you ask? For more information, or if you just enjoy my bemused ramblings, read here: http://www.spout.com/blogs/pip pin06/archive/2008/3/1/25756.a spx All Quiet on the Western Front is on the following AFI lists: The Original Top 100 (#54)10 Top 10's (#7 Epic) I saw All Quiet on the Western Front a first time when I was attempting to complete this project previously. I think I have also seen the 70s version (which, if I'm not mistaken, sets it in a different war that the First World War). I remember liking it and thinking it was powerful on the first viewing, an opinion that remains true today, after watching it a second time instantly on Netflix. This film is a marvel for the year in which it was released: it contains a potent anti-war message and intensely realistic action that laid the groundwork for many a war film to follow it. While some may feel that the film is dated (and, yes, it is), there are elements of the film that will endure, forever tim ... "

"I watched this once a long time ago, and I must admit, I was kind of upset that I wasted my money on this old ass film. But I held onto the DVD, knowing one day I'd pop it in again to give it another chance. That day came, and I found myself enjoying the quaint-ness of the film rather than the film itself. It's a curio to me to see a film made before the horrifying tragedy that was WWII, and knowing that the people who made this film had no idea of what was to come. Yes, some of the scenes are very theatrical, but the message as clear today as when it was made, and I believe the "butterfly" scene examplifies that sentiment beautifully. If you're wanting to watch it, go into it knowing it's extremely dated, and maybe you won't have to eat your words like I did. "

"1. Apocalypse Now - It's not only my favorite war film, but one of my favorite films period. It's hard to say anything about this film that hasn't already been said many times before. It's just perfect from the direction, writing, cast and soundtrack. The Ride Of The Valkyries scenes is still one of the greatest ever filmed. 2. The Deer Hunter - A heartbreaking film that's got one of the greatest cast ever assembled. The Russian Roulette scene goes under my top 5 uncomfortable moments. 3. Saving Private Ryan - I know many people consider this to be way overrated, but it's a film that left such an imprint on me. 4. The Thin Red Line - As with all of Malick's films, Thin Red Line is a sobering and contemplative masterpiece. 5. All Quiet On The Western Front - Told from a completely different point of view than most other War films. This thing holds like crazy! Here are some honorable mentions that almost made my Top 5: Overlord Full ... "
