Brian Geraghty, Guy Pearce in The Hurt Locker (top); Lew Ayres in All Quiet on the Western Front (bottom)

The Hurt Locker, an Iraq War drama that follows a US military bomb disposal unit, has been harshly criticized by some Iraq War veterans. Some have called the movie inaccurate and its depiction of soldiers in a war zone laughable. Others have gone as far as to accuse filmmaker Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal of &#34;disrespect&#34; towards  the military because The Hurt Locker shows soldiers disobeying orders and acting on their own.
Now, could those accusations and complaints &#8212; whether or not they have merit &#8212; affect The Hurt Locker&#8217;s Oscar chances? Even if they&#8217;d surfaced at an earlier date, that&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Lew Ayres in All Quiet on the Western Front
&#160;

Synopsis:
World War I: A group of German schoolboys soon learn that war has absolutely nothing to do with either glory or heroics.
Pros:

Nearly eight decades after its release, All Quiet on the Western Front remains &#8212; in my ever-so-humble opinion &#8212; the best war movie ever made. From the first sequences when the German schoolboys are all eager to take up arms to fight for Fatherland, Honor, and Glory to the very last scenes [...]]]></description>

Lew Ayres and Louis Wolheim in All Quiet on the Western Front

The silent version of the best picture Academy Award winner All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), in my view the greatest war movie ever made, will be screened at New York City&#8217;s Film Forum on Monday, August 3. Showtimes are at 3:20, 6:50, and 9:20. 
Having been restored and preserved by the Library of Congress, and featuring two reels cut from the original talkie print following the film&#8217;s East and West Coast premieres, this silent version &#8212; edited from the foreign negative &#8212; comes  with musical accompaniment intended for foreign markets where theaters  hadn&#8217;t yet been equipped to sound.

Made at the dawn of the sound era, All Quiet on the Western Front remains the best war film ever made. Despite some brave (and not so brave) attempts by other filmmakers ever since, no other motion picture I&#8217;ve seen has captured the horrors of war with the honesty and the poignancy of Lewis Milestone&#8217;s rendition of Erich Maria Remarque&#8217;s pacifist novel. Lew Ayres plays the young, idealistic soldier who soon discovers that war has nothing to do with either honor or glory.
