Are there any recent World War 1 films?

[JohnG]

As the title says, I'm interested in hearing about any recent WW1 films. I'm not really into watching old films and so it would really need to be something recent.
I can't understand why there are so many WW2 films and yet there doesn't seem to be much about the first war

Hi JohnG,

Does this help at all?

Linky 1 - Best WW1 Movies

Linky 2 - Best War Movies Ever

Linky 3 - Wikipedia List of WW1 Movies

Linky 4 - IMDB Film called FLYBOYS (2006) set during WW1

Passchendaele

I'd give you my opinion on it but I had a little trouble ordering it, and still yet to see it.

I enjoyed Flyboys and it looks great on Blu Ray.

- All The Kings Men is a drama about the Sandringham division in Turkey
- Passchendaele is superb.
- The Trench is described by the title
- Walter's War is quite a good one off TV drama you may see on BBC4 every now and then.

There are also less recent productions such as All Quiet On The Western Front (original and remake), Gallipoli and The Lighthorsemen. I'd also point you towards the Australian series ANZACS, but I watched the DVDs recently and realised how rubbish it was.

I guess because the American involvement was less, the war wasn't as mobile and the good v evil regeme argument wasn't applicable.
