The 1930 movie, All Quiet On The Western Front, is considered one of the greatest war movies ever made, and its success resulted in a largely forgotten sequel being released seven years later. Directed by Lewis Milestone, the movie depicts a young student, Paul Bäumer, and his group of friends, eagerly enlisting to fight for their country, but their excitement and enthusiasm is quickly shattered when they are confronted by the harsh realities of war. All Quiet On The Western Front was widely praised and won two Oscars, including Best Picture, the first talkie movie to win at the Oscars.
