I have always thought the look and sound of "All Quiet on the Western Front" is top rate. Many of the extras are actual German veterans. Sound effects were in their infancy, so if they wanted to get the sound of a mortar or machine gun, they went out and fired one and recorded it. A Vietnam veteran of my acquaintance said they were the most realistic battle sound effects of any movie he had ever seen. |

Hard poll as no one was at most of these events to be able to comment on acuracy |

I haven't seen most of them so I'm restricted to a few that, whilst overacted and overdramatized, do have a reasonable core of historical fact. |

Hard poll as no one was at most of these events to be able to comment on acuracy If no one was there, how did they occur?  |

THE BUNKER should certainly have been accurate, given how much of the script was based on c the writings and stories from the staff present in the place at the time. |
