A is for "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930)

 Well, this first letter was easy. "All Quiet..." (1930) is the most important war movie ever made. It exemplifies the genre extremely well. The film was based on the greatest war novel and it does an outstanding job getting the book onto the silver screen. The movie is one of the best anti-war novel as all the young men that are friends with Paul Baumer are killed or badly wounded. It's depiction of trench warfare holds up over 100 years later. It was the first war movie to win the Oscar for Best Picture. To see how good it is, compare it to the most recent version which pales in comparison.
