Watchable enough but the leads are quite unlikeable & 77 years on certain aspects are hard to relate to. 6/10.

It's a so-so movie. Not bad but not great. I'm sure back in 1934 it was amazing though at the time.

The poster makes Clark Gable look like Cesar Romero.

Brilliant. What else is there to say?

A very pleasant experience. Great little love story, loved the chemistry between the two leads. One thing though, it's kind of a bummer that there is no two-shot of them at the end. Would've loved to see how the reunion of those two played out.

Great performances all round, and a well-structured movie, but there was some rather nasty sexism running through the whole movie that ruined it for me. The romantic hero saying "what she needs is a guy that'd take a sock at her once a day, whether it's coming to her or not" was particularly disturbing.

Duke of Omnium - I'd have a hard time accepting an argument that "All Quiet on the Western Front" doesn't hold up today. Yes, it has some dated elements that are endemic to most films from the very early sound era (the use of sound, not surprisingly, is one of the more particularly dated elements) - but the script and direction are still fantastic, and it still manages to pack an incredible emotional wallop more than 80 years later.

"It Happened One Night" is a great film, but "All Quiet on the Western Front" would easily get my vote for the first great Best Picture winner, as it's one of the best films ever made, period.

Arguably the earliest Best Picture Oscar which still stands up today (although you could make a case for Grand Hotel). Everything before this is incredibly dated, but the acting, script and direction in this one hold up very well.
