"WWI movies are sadly rather rare in comparison to WWII, perhaps because of America's late entry and comparatively light casualty count. The so-called "War to end all Wars" was unable to bring an end to the violence, instead ushering in a seemingly endless variety of new weapons and tactics. Battle continues to exist, but World War I changed it forever. These movies will show you exactly how WWI changed the world, for better and worse…." See here link Amicalement Armand

Not a bad list, but I question including Flyboys or The Red Baron in a list of movies about 'the trenches' I'd replace them with The Blue Max. I'd also include Regeneration, for its analysis of the psychology cost of the war. |

Many I never seen on that list, have to start looking them up. |

They missed Lost Battalion, 1917, and Wonder Woman. I agree that including the airplane movies is a bit of a stretch when talking about going into the trenches. |

Not a bad list, but to add to movies they left out: All Quiet on the Western Front (the 1979 remake. Quite exceptional for a TV movie), Anzacs: the War Down Under, What Price Glory (the zany comedy bits make this a strange movie, but somehow John Ford gets it to work) |

Lost Battalion was one I was thinking of then forgot to mention, and original All Quiet on the Western Front is a great movie. |

I would put The Lighthorsemen on the list. Rick |

King Vidor's "The Big Parade" is a worthy choice. |

Just finished The Trench, very good if sad, but then how couldn't it be? Saw it on line |
