It's been discussed already so won't go into that but finally drew up the courage to watch All Quiet On The Western Front. I'm not sure 'enjoy' is the correct word for the viewing experience unless I'm solely going off of the cinematography, acting, etc because it is, as many good war movies are, a gut wrenching experience but it needed to be seen.

The scene in the pit where Paul stabs the French soldier--my spouse and I had a discussion afterwards about the psychology when one kills someone with a knife in battle as it is so physically close to the victim. When juxtaposed to General Foch in his cozy and warm abode, enjoying his meals as he discussed the war, it made my heart ache. I read the book in high school, but they captured the moment of Paul's emotions well.
