All Quiet on the Western Front
It's been streaming on Netflix for months, but All Quiet on the Western Front—the other Oscar sweeper this year—is really best viewed on a big screen. Based on the novel by Erich Maria Remarque, the "anti-war epic" (Screen Daily) follows a young German soldier's experiences of initial euphoria and transition into desperation and terror in the trenches of the Western Front. Be warned, it gets brutal.
