Paths Of Glory is A Great Movie


Only saw it for the first time last year, very impressive. You could really see the genius of Kubrick coming through and Douglas was excellent.

I agree. Great film.

Definitely in my all-time top five.

Saw it for the first time last year too, why did I wait so long?! Great film!

I agree it's a great film. But it's also very old school B&W and gritty and grim. One has to be a hardcore cinephile to want to seek this out and find it entertaining. Again, it's very grim, and sadly, realistic.

I was surprised at how 'modern' some of the scenes felt to me....the almost Steadicam style shots through the trenches etc (what would become a very Kubrick thing of course).

Funny how folks see things different like.

I think it might be Kirk's best film. Certainly not his most famous or fun movie.

He was in many excellent films.
