Two Arabian Knights) the descriptions of the bleakness and futility of war are turned into a gritty and ambitious visual triumph, a genuine milestone in cinema history. The best war films ever made, picture special The film is long – more than two and half hours – and despite the technological limitations, the unrelenting realism of battle action remain gripping enough for CGI- attuned contemporary audiences. It was ahead of its time, too, being the first talking picture to use a giant mobile crane for filming. As the shells demolish the underground bunkers, you can't help but be struck by the shrieks of fear and the incessant rat- tat- tat of machine guns, fizzing trench mortars and whining shells. Milestone really shows the terror of what it must have been like to have been a soldier in the so- called Great War. There is a staginess to some of the acting but the film was a reasonably early example of a "talkie", when actors were still adapting to life after the silent movie. That said, Lew Ayres is excellent as Bäumer (1.

Ayres refused to fight in the Second World War, declaring himself a conscientious objector) and Louis Wolheim is superb as Stanislaus Katczinsky, the amiable war veteran who does his best to help the teenage conscripts. The police ready themselves for demonstrators against All Quiet on the Western Front in Berlin on December 9 1. IMAGNO/AUSTRIAN ARCHIVES The silent scenes work well in this black- and white movie, such as the framing scene in which soldiers march away from the camera towards the battle front, glancing back over their shoulders, their faces registering fear, confusion and a weary resignation. Yet one of the most moving scenes is almost the most intimate, when, in a Catholic hospital near the front, wounded Bäumer meets his friend Albert Kropp (William Bakewell).

One of Kropp's legs has been amputated and (like so many others who suffer the fate in war of having a leg blown off) he still believes that he can feel his toes and sense pain, a condition now known as phantom limb syndrome. In addition, it's hard not to be moved by the scene in which Ayres carries a wounded comrade from the battlefield not realising he has died. And you can't help but be appalled by the ghastly Professor Kantorek and the impassioned speeches he gives about the glory of serving in the Army, speeches that persuade so many boys who are little more than children to sign up for war. All Quiet on the Western Front remains an essential piece of social history and a heart- wrenching film, one described as "inspirational" by Steven Spielberg, who said it helped inspire his direction of Saving Private Ryan. Lew Ayres and William Bakewell in the moving hospital scene in All Quiet on the Western Front.

Article 9. 9 Set in a dilapidated Veterans Administration hospital, Article 9. It’s about dedicated physicians not performing life- saving acts of valor: Their hands are tied by the crisis in veterans’ health care — the calamitous lack of funding, the red tape, the increasingly prevalent policy of refusing to cover conditions (such as heart problems) that aren’t directly related to military service. To function as doctors, the movie’s heroes have to become outlaws in their own hospital. Chief among the rebel healers is Leonard Sturgess (Ray Liotta), a crusading surgeon who’s an old hand at stealing supplies and forging documents.

Kiefer Sutherland is the new kid on the block, a cautious yuppie intern who forms a sentimental attachment to an aging patient (Eli Wallach). With its crew of surgical hotshots issuing directives in hipster slang (”All quiet on the Western front — let’s zap him!”), Article 9. M*A*S*H. Yet the movie, which has a live- wire surface energy and an urgent performance by Liotta, is a shallow, tabloid expose.

The hospital here is a cartoon of bureaucratic inefficiency: It’s so badly run that the patients seem lucky if they can get an aspirin. I don’t mean to trivialize the crisis in veterans’ health care — it’s an outrage that has dragged on for years — but Article 9. In the ridiculous, shoot- the- works finale, the villainous hospital chief (John Mahoney) is exposed and reprimanded by a high- ranking Washington official. Didn’t it occur to the filmmakers that it’s the government’s policy — and not some hog- tied administrator — that’s responsible for the situation they so glibly assail?
