We have too few of those desu...
What's there tends to be good.
Just realised how much Tik-Tok from Return to Oz looks like a WW1 Tommy.
Can /tv/ recommend me some good WW1 films?
>>62919591

I already watched Paths of Glory btw
>world war one movie
>last post starts playing
>>62919564
There should be at least a lot of horror movies set in WWI
Why are there few WWI movies? Is it because US didn't participate in it as much as in WWII? Is it because it didn't have an holocaust?
>>62919693
There was one with Andy Serkis, forgot what it was called though.
Some guys take a trwnch, but there's no one there. Shit gets weird and goes all Silent Hill.
I forgot the name (and most about it, I was a little drunk when I saw it and it was like 5 years ago) but I think it was called Deathwatch?
>>62919758
>Is it because it didn't have an holocaust?
I think you answered your own question.
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
>WW1 was literal hell. no humour could ever come from it
>>62919591
All Quiet on the Western Front.
>>62919591
My Boy Jack (2007) wasnt bad. it has harry potter in it
>world war 1 movie
>It aint Ypres starts playing
I'm writing a screenplay about WW1. Reading about the testimonies of Verdun convinced me that it was literally Hell on Earth, as if somebody had opened a portal to another world of inescapable misery, trapped inside an planetary wide industrial slaughtering machine. It is the peak of human misery, destruction and tragedy.
>>62919693
>>62919784
Deathwatch. It's decent and Serkis is great in it. Bit cheesy but still worth a watch.
>>62919758
>>62919794
What is the Armenian genocide?
>>62919591
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, which is also the greatest war movie there is
>>62919836
What about blackadder goes fourth?
>>62920150
... the ending?
>>62919693
blame the muh nazi zombies gimmick
>>62919758
I think so, WW1 tends to weigh more on the European consciousness than the American one.
Maybe we'll get a few more come out once people get bored with WW2.

Im so sorry for my ancester, i cant do anything.
>>62919917
I remember hearing about a "fort" that was fought over, and switched hands repeatedly over the battle of (I Think it was) Verdun. It was an unimportant fort that had no real strategic value. Apparently there were just hundreds of corpses from each side rotting, and places just had uniforms in the shape of a person in the mud, because their bodies had rotted and been stomped on so many times it disappeared.
>>62919959
Thanks yeah.
I should rewatch I remember it being corny but entertaining.

>>62920614
Second movie on the poster, m8. And already mentioned in the thread....
However, it's a great one and well worth mentioning again.
>>62920475
Douaumont ?
>>62920592
Not with that attitude
>>62920530
>crucifixion myth
it doesn't deserve to be on there
>>62920309
Which movies focus more on the brutality of the war instead of being a drama set in that era?
>Westfront 1918
>Tannenberg
Interesting to watch together, their both pre WWII German films but Westfronten is pacifistic while Tannenberg laudes a german victory. It's interesting to see how Germany's sentiment towards both adjusted as the Nazis grew in power.
Also
>Haber
I really want this to get some kind of commercial release. It'd be nice to see a more recent American WWI film that isn't Warhorse or fucking Flyboys.
>>62919917
Is there a movie that shows this?
>>62921469
Not yet.

Hitler loved the Muslims tho
WW1
WW2
Should we really care about them anymore? I mean war has changed. The world has changed. The next war won't be fought with men in boots, it'll all be drones and robots and cyber attacks.
It just seems so irrelevant now. I watched Fury, and I might as well have been watching Star Wars that's how far removed from this timeline it was.

Everyone would love Muslims if they stayed in their own fucking countries.

Deathwatch. Good spooky WW1 movie.

How exactly are muslims taking over their country?
>>62923586
Oh I think I have this somewhere
looks engrossing
>>62923750
Many towns in Western Europe have now been entirely settled by Muslims, Anon. The birth rates are on their side and demographically they are cvcking and replacing Europeans. (while they're not raping their daughters of course)
>>62923750
cause regressives are taking control of Europe.
regressives hate anything 'European' and associated with christianity, but love anything to do with Islam
cause muslims are brown and poor
>>62924097
It's the most cowardly invasion ever.
They literally just move here and start breeding until they become the majority.
>>62920530
Passchendaele is fucking awful
>>62919350
absolutely atrocious and mind dullingly boring setting
You have no idea how long I've been trying to start a ww1 film thread.
When we get a ww1 miniseries of the same quality as BoB or the pacific
>>62925405
Never. America wasn't that involved with The Great War and I don't think any European studios have the financial backing to produce a truly epic WW1 series on the scale of BoB.
>>62925405
You have blackadder, what more could you want :^)
>ywn go over the top on july 1st 1916 on the Somme only to be mowed down because you were under orders to not run
>>62923097

That's only if you focus on the Western "move my cabinet 5 inches closer to Berlin for 100 000 men" front.

>>62925405
A WW1 series is a difficult one to write. With WW2 you had the benefit of it being a ever moving campaign with changing scenery and obstacles.
With WW1 you have about a 8 month period in the begining of the war where things were still mobile until shit got stuck.
Just how many episodes can you write about mud and trenchfoot at verdun?
You can try Gallipoli (2015)
It's a pretty good miniseries in the style of BoB, not the same quality, but it's well worth it if you're interested in WW1.
>>62919884
underrated
>>62923680
I saw it yesterday. It was fucking shitty as hell.
Shoddy editing, bad script and the music sounded like it was written by a 14 year old with to many torrented VST's.
>>62921912
Exactly through this mass slaughter
>>62924097
By that logic, 75% of France should be portugese by now since portugese migrants had the highest birth rate in the 70s and 80s.
But integration works, second and third generations mixes in and adapts or leaves.
And said towns "taken over by musilms" are overpopulated commieblock'd areas, so nothing of value is lost here.

Care to explain?
>>62920530
Passchendaele was a fucking abortion, and a disgrace to those who suffered in the trenches.
It is also a lost opportunity, as there will likely never be another chance to make a theatrical release movie about the Canadian experience in the Great War.
anybody read In Stahlgewittern? Any good?
>"He went completely out of his mind at the end. He started telling me about a hideous event that happened during a skirmish in a little ruined town in World War I. He'd killed someone in a miserable, horrible way and that had obviously haunted him throughout the rest of his life. As my grandfather died, in his mind he was back in that town, trying to find a German boy whom he'd bayonetted in the forehead. He'd lived with that memory all his life – and he was of a time when people kept things to themselves. When he finally told the story, it really affected me and I've not been able to get it out of my head."[5]
imagine living with that guilt

The Light Horsemen was pretty good, too.

Which one desu
I love WW1 because it's not twisted into a contrived narrative of Good vs. Evil.
It's just a supreme example of how the delicate and precarious systems devised by man in the genuine interest of securing peace and prosperity are invariable just as flawed as their creators. It was a war that both sides worked feverishly to prevent, but at the same time were inexorably drawn towards it. It was the unveiling of a new kind of industrialized war. A war fought with production lines and factories, with scientists and engineers, with metal triumphing over blood. It was a pandoras box. A new kind of war, requiring a new kind of society, one that can be reorganized like a singular giant machine that exists only to sustain violence.
It's harrowing.

>>62919693
Certain parts of the Hellraiser movies happen in WWI.
>>62919758
Because it was a war about politics with no clearly evil bad guys whom we can root for the violent death of, so it would likely confuse most Americans.
