Paths of Glory (1957) is an anti-war film by Stanley Kubrick based on the novel of the same name by Humphrey Cobb. Kubrick and his partners purchased the film rights from Cobb's widow for $10,000.

The book had no title when it was finished, so the publisher held a contest. The winning entry comes from the ninth stanza of the famous Thomas Gray poem Elegy Written in a Country Church-yard:

The boast of heraldry, the pomp of pow'r,
And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave,
Awaits alike th'inevitable hour.
The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

...but watchable for period recreation, WW1 battles and Nino Rota's music alone. Surely an influence on Kubrick's PATHS OF GLORY.

@amgamble Yes, Paths of Glory is WWI, w/Kirk Douglas, directed by Stanley Kubrick. I'm convinced this reviewer is being perverse on purpose.

@jillinski Is Paths of Glory the WWII one? (I liked all the ones on the list too). Make pal sit through some postwar Italians to show mettle
