[byranntherockstar1]

Great film. I'm 18 and I watched this in my AP European History Class. An amazing film :)

f

No Glory for heroes is an award winning short film that looks the psychological affects ww1 had on soldiers and how it would affect many for the rest of their lives!!

[WalDemento999]

This movie was haunting. But it's still the best war film ever made.

[GothamFlack]

This flick was a truly staggering achievement for it's time (circa 1929, a period just before the Crash that coincided with the dawn of the ascendency of technology making a soundtrack possible, consigning the silent movie to the annals of history). If the acting seems a bit stilted and melodramatic, well, it's worth keeping in mind that with the addiition of a soundtrack, the motion picture industry was in the midst of reinventing itself; many silent screen stars didn't make the transition to

[amazingdany]

One of the movies with an anti-war message in it. Probably hated by republicans. (rimshot, cheap one)

[divescuba19]

Daniel Radcliffe is going to be in the remake!!!

[laurenox131]

[CaesarRedsox]

@cinemapsycho91 You forgot all of the classic Universal monster movies.

[cinemapsycho91]

@CaesarRedsox There's is no doubt that Universal is responsible for all the first horror/monster movies, and that they were all groundbreaking achievements, but I just think the movies that I mentioned were all a little more poignant. All the horror/monster movies are DEFINITELY in the top 50.

[CaesarRedsox]

@cinemapsycho91 I can agree with your statement, but like you mentioned, theres no denying their lasting impact in the world of horror films. Anyways, I haven't seen All Quiet on The Western Front(original). I've only seen the late 70's remake, which I quite enjoyed.

[cinemapsycho91]

@CaesarRedsox Yes, you have to check out the 1930's version. It's early film-making at it's very best.

[CaesarRedsox]

@cinemapsycho91 I catched the original flick on the TCM channel the otherday and I gotta say, this is probably as close to a real representation of war on film. I love the way it was shot, almost had a documentary like feel with the combat scenes. I thought some acting was a bit stiff in some parts, but it was hauntingly good!!!!

[cinemapsycho91]

@CaesarRedsox Glad you liked it!!! Definitely agree with you, but as far as the acting goes, it was the early 1930's, and film was slowly moving away from the silent film era of the 1920's, and actor/actress's performances weren't really getting recognized. It was Universal Pictures' first film to win for Best Picture.

[CaesarRedsox]

@cinemapsycho91 Thats the impression I was getting through out the film. I think this movie might beat out The Thin Red Line as my all-time favorite war epic lol.

[cinemapsycho91]

@CaesarRedsox Cool. Yeah, it's truly one of the greatest ever made.

[jpsplat]

MY EYES! I'M BLIND! Hey maybe I should take up piano!

[WakeupnowandResist]

i'm 14 and i gotta say...this film is pretty impressive, and i didn't get bored ones, i would top this as the second best old film, my first is King Kong from the 30's

[thebigrussian]

If only they knew, when they made this movie, what was ahead of them...

[EpicF4iLx23]

OLD MOVIES ARE BETTER THEN NEW ONES

[LordDracha]

actually, this was the first "Best Picture" in history, because the one's before it were "Best Picture Production", and "Best Picture [something else]", 1930 was the first time the category was just called "Best Picture"

[TheLoneBunghole]

cant miss it? thats fine i'll just get it on dvd 80 years later

[bobgrantsbus]

Beautiful and moving film about the lunancy of war.

[EasyCompanyAirborne]

Good movie. These Germans had no chance against the Americans. Not in the same class. They only fought the French in this. 

[LevelReset]

Second best war movie i have ever seen. The best imo is Full Metal Jacket. Thanks imdb top 250. I would never have seen it if the list never had existed!

[Alainke1210]

everybody could have seen this movie for years and years, but noooo, they had to choose Hitler, Chamberlain, etc without thinking

[SandLuvsCorps]

Thank you for this trailer. I have not seen the original movie. Interesting.

[jnmklo9]

Lew Ayres was great in holiday - but in this, inthis he was truly magnificent my favourite actor of all time in movies

[1912Universal]

Never able to fully lift himself from the shadow of his tyrannical father, Julius "Carl Junior" Laemmle was still able to bring this personal project to fruition....at the tender age of 21. The film garnered Universal it's first Oscar for best picture....that honor should have gone directly to "Junior".but Carl Sr. accepted the Oscar on behalf of his company Universal Pictures. Junior went on to produce many films during his short reign as Universals production chief...most beloved his monsters

[WalDemento999]

This is THE BEST WAR FILM EVER MADE.

[directorlog]

Awesome cinematography, Watch the camera moves in the combat scene, absolutely stunning, Those explosion at 1:22 are amazing.

[Unizlin69]

holy shit 2:12 nice.. great movie

[HeronOfHeaven]

this movie did nothing to save the world, after 15 years the history repeat itself

[satanic666sonic]

@HeronOfHeaven "those who cannot remember the past are damned to live through it again."

did you just blame it on the film?

[MrDMWN]

Great! Thank you !

[Munkepunk]

I read some exerts from the book and watched part of the movie in my humanities class. I finished the rest of it on YouTube since i don't own. But I really enjoyed the movie and judging from all the comments i believe everyone else here does as well. And it also seems like we all understand the outlying meaning for what was intended by the film. A message about war and what it does to a human being mentally and physically.

[chaleyb10]

I agree that this is one of the best war films ever made. I think it depicts what was going on at that paticular point in history. It also reveals how far along we have came in technology but how the same ideals of divide and conquer still exidt and probably wont change any time soon.

[truckbblue1]

I have always said it is very hard to do a remake." There was a remake of this film in the 70's, but the original will always be the best version.

[truckbblue1]

The original version may be in black and white, but it feels like you are actually doing battle while watching it.

[truckbblue1]

You can see all of the emotion and caring that goes on in the original version.

[truckbblue1]

. I am not a war movie fanatic, but this film is done very well and will keep you on the edge of your seat.

[truckbblue1]

There may never be another war film done as well as this one was. If you haven't seen this movie in its original form, I would highly suggest you do.

[altoids79762]

before i saw the movie i was all like patriotic and wanting to join the military like the guys were in the begining and stuff but after i saw the movie i was like not so eager to join and i didnt see war being action i just saw war as being bullshit

[coolmartfloyd]

great book

[EdwardismyHomeboy]

the books was amazing...

[latinac]

I like the book better

[REPTARxGOESxRAWR]

i really want them to remake it

:DDDDD

[wha2309]

where the hell you been they all ready made a remake you tard

[GG1991]

Damn it, this film is almost 80 years old, and it's one of the (if not thee) best war films i have ever seen... brilliant!

[stevie301271]

yes it is in my top 5 war films but check out a korean war film called Brotherhood.

[kindin10]

@GG1991

maybe you are right. But it is also possible that today's films are just so terrible.

[truckbblue1]

I have always said it is very hard to do a remake." There was a remake of this film in the 70's, but the original will always be the best version.

[sparten771]

@GG1991 its shit

[ZemplinTemplar]

My most favourite war drama (both the book and this brilliant film adaptation). :-)
