Most Realistic Military And War Movies Ever Made

There have been a number of versions of All Quiet on the Western Front, the very first coming in 1930. It tells the story of a group of German schoolboys who are talked into enlisting in the German army right before World War I breaks out. This intense and very realistic remake centered around one solider specifically, Paul Bäumer, whose idea of war and the realities of it are two different things.

Bäumer is an idealistic sort but learns early on, it is survival of the fittest and the luckiest, as bodies drop like flies around him. This version of All Quiet on the Western Front also included a parallel storyline that showed the negotiations that led to the end of the war.

The realism of the story brought the film nine Academy Award nominations, winning four. These were for Best International Feature Film, Best Original Score, Best Production Design, and Best Cinematography.
