La Grande Illusion

Jean Renoir's Other masterpiece (besides Rules of the Game) is simply a must have for anyone who considers themselves film fanatics. Sure its long, in multiple languages and black & white, but it's also the greatest anti-war film ever made. Subtle in a way that modern film makers could take notes from, this story of a couple of PoWs is interestingly timeless. Funny, moving, sad but always optimistic, La Grande Illusion should be something you see. DO IT.

5/5
