If this great scene from Stanley Kubrick's film "Paths of Glory" does not bring tears to your eyes, you are inhuman.

Paths of Glory is a 1957 American anti-war film directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel of the same name by Humphrey Cobb. Set during World War I, the film stars Kirk Douglas as Colonel Dax, the commanding officer of French soldiers who refuse to continue a suicidal attack, after which Dax attempts to defend them against a charge of cowardice in a court-martial.

No need to tell me. Have you seen it?Do yourself a favor if you haven't. People under 30 wouldn't like it because it's in B&W. It's my second favorite Kubrick film, after Dr. Strangelove. Third is Barrie Lindon.

@fishline79 . . . multiple times 🙂
. . . what about Clockwork Orange ?
. . . Eyes Wide Shut ?
. . . the Shining ?
. . . 2001 ?

@FearlessFly Those I noted are my favorites. Of course there were more but I like those. The Shining was well done and graphically meticulous and I found the tracking shots with the "Big Wheel", perhaps early use of "Steadycam" mesmerizing) but I don't like Stephen King much. I think he was senile when he made Eyes Wide Shut and Natural Born Killers and Of course 1001 was a masterpiece but not the kind of film that I favor. Same with Clockwork Orange.You forgot Sparticus.
