    looks pretty good. On another note I find it funny that in 1914 they still thought they would use Calvary like they did back in the 1800s. They were in for a rude awakening.

    I don't think Stephen Spielberg would be directing a Canadian play.

    Looks very interesting, although a bit overdramatised. Still, I couldn't get the tune of "Look at my horse" out of my head while watching this.

    lol. It seems almost exactly like the book was written in my opinion. But its Stephen Spielberg of course he is going to over-dramatize it.

    What was the last good world war 1 movie you saw? To be honest I cant even remember seeing a World War 1 movie.

    Ya, you'd think the War Horse would get gunned down by Machine Gun fire.

    You know they even used Calvary in WWII, I think it was the Norwegians or something. They all died.

    I see you have never watched the History Channel. There are probably more WW2 movies than any other kind of movie.

    I think he meant to say World War I all the movies I listed were movies based on World War I.
    Here are some clips.
    Paths of Glory

    Joyeux Noel (this movie is about the christmas truce of 1914 but it starts like this)

    All Quiet on the Western Front (193o's version)

    Flyboys

    WWI movies aren't so fun to watch. Everyone dies pointlessly. Nothing fun about it.
