All quiet on the Western Front, I had to read the book in high school. Boring is an understatement.

I read the book before I saw the movie. I loved the book, and the movie isn't that far from the book at all.

While I have mentioned it before, THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES, is one of the best "war" films I have ever seen and if it's on tv, I watch it.

But there is a twist: it is about the effects after WWII of the soldiers coming home.

I want to see that one. I've never heard of it. Is it on Netflix?

You can get it from Netflix DVD but it is not streaming there. I also checked the free streaming on TCM's website but they only have clips and they play it semi-regularly on TCM; and that is one film that I do not spoil ever, as it would take away from it's powerful impact.

Powerfully moving, the film's last few scenes are so human. I'm not going to say why but you will see.

I'm watching "The Best Years of our Lives" right now. That guy is cheating on his wife. -- hilarious. Great movie, so far.

Another classic returns to theaters for only 2 shows at select theaters on March 26 & March 31: this classic defined the 80s generation of teens and is one of the many now iconic films of the late John Hughes:

So, Greekchatters, were you the rebel, the jock, the princess, the brain or the outcast?

(I find it highly ironic that we talked about this movie earlier when I created this thread HA HA )
