I just watched one of my favorite movies this evening on TCM (Turner Classic Movies), "3:10 To Yuma" the 1957 version with Glenn Ford, Felicia Farr, and Van Heflin. The whole production is first class, especially the magnificent black & white photography!

 
All quiet on the western front
Wow !
Sorry, the original "All Quiet On The Western Front" was a good movie but this one, like so many these days, looks like simply a vehicle for digital graphics special effects. Why this vogue for black backgrounds and dark lighting? It looks like they can't resist fooling with the gamma either. It looks as if the new Korean War movie is falling into the same category. Of course. if the background is very dark the producers save money by not having to pay their computer graphics artists to create one.

If you want a good but depressing war movie, try the 1959 "Fires On The Plain" or even "Lawrence Of Arabia".
