Which World War I Clips do you use?

Todd Nussen
Todd Nussen 5 months ago

While I've never shown a full length film to my classes on World War I, I always find myself using clips from a number of movies.  I can't even recall how many different clips I've shown and from what movies and documentaries, but these are the ones I have used for the last two years.  I show the first two back-to-back when we examine the new weapons of war.  The No Man's Land clip when we examine trench warfare and the last one to show a bit of humanity.  I'm always wondering what others use.  Any clips from 1917? Am I missing other important scenes from War Horse or All Quiet on the Western Front?  Other movies or documentaries? 

For militarism: 

Machine gun v. cavalry War Horse Scene

Tank v. machine gun All Quiet on the Western Front tanks scene

For No Man's Land

War Horse Battle of the Somme

For Humanity: 

Christmas Truce 1914

    I've used this scene before after reading some primary sources first.  Only because it shows the rats, corpses, etc.  It's pretty nasty actually.
