Anyone know of a good WW I movie? We always talk about WW II movies, but never about the first World War. I was wondering what good movies where out. Funny how much information is known about the 2nd WW, but not much about the first.

thanks,

There's a movie on Sgt. York
Another called "The Front" covering the German side.  A movie was made in early 80's

Is "Lost Battalion" worth buying sight-unseen? I don't have cable and have never seen it. Plus, the video store doesn't have it.

I do have a crappy copy of "Sgt. York" I taped off TBS a few years ago. Sure wish it was released on DVD though.

Capitaine Conan (1996)
Bulgaria near the end of World War I: Conan, warrior and wolf, leads a band of 50 ruthless French fighters who love hand-to-hand combat. Their motto: "We forgot to take prisoners, Captain." At war's end, the unit goes to Bucharest, where Conan tries to keep them out of trouble, defends them when they behave as warriors, and finds he's unsuited for peacetime. His friendship with Norbert, a teacher turned lieutenant, is tested when Norbert accepts a job as court-martial prosecutor because he's learned that Conan will be facing charges and he wants to protect his friend. When they are sent to the Russian border to fight Bolsheviks, Conan is back in his element and Norbert is off the hook.
