A very well done movie well acted a really good Kirk Douglas role

I just happened to be in Best Buy looking for something else when I spotted the DVD bins... regular films, $3.99... Blu Ray films, $4.99 and of course having a personal DVD collection of close to 8000 films, I'm naturally going to gravitate toward those bins. Not surprisingly, I had most of what was being offered, but did manage to snag a few gems, Paths of Glory being one of them. I've always loved Kurt Douglas (Spartacus anyone?), and can you believe as of this review (Jan 16th) he's still alive and kicking at age 102!? I know most people nowadays have switched to streaming and subscription services, but I tend to be old fashioned, and since I have my own theatre, I can enjoy what I want to watch and when to watch them. Paths of Glory really stand out as one of Kurt's finest.

This movie is one for the ages. If you don't pay close attention, you can get lost, or miss something. Stanley Kubrick is well known for these kinds of movies and they are brilliantly told on screen. I would highly recommend that you see this movie, especially, if you are as I am a Stanly Kubrick fan.

Kirk Douglas stars in this film, which is about several soldiers being charged and tried for cowardice during World War I. Douglas represents the men and makes a very strong argument on their behalf. Unfortunately, they are found guilty. This film, which is in black and white, is excellent.

One of the best movies ever. Powerful realism on many levels. Actors at there best, and the feel of the film is gritty and refined at the same time. This is one of my favorite films.

It’s a classic movie that looks at what goes on in the officers mind when battles have to be won at the expense of the infantry soldiers.

Had to watch this for a class assignment and decided it was good enough to own. Crazy ending is worth the buildup.

An early work of this fine director that illustrates the quality of works that would follow in the years ahead.

So, I have never seen this movie but I finally will because this movie was a great price.

favorite movie of mine. World War 2 movie. Knew the plot but like it anyway!

Very good movie by two Hollywood legends: Kirk Douglas and Stanley Kubrick.

Great movie and great price. Enjoy watching this classic movie.

Searched around and online but could not find it for less.

It shows the reality of how unrealistic people really are.

Very interesting film to watch if you like the actor

This is one of the best anti-war films ever made, in my opinion. An all-star cast, featuring Kirk Douglas, show the futility of war. I saw it in the 60's as a kid and it's held up really well. Not a regular DVD buyer, this is now part of my core collection of maybe 20 films I like to watch periodically again.

Like WWI and II movies, but this was not that type, It dealt with following orders and repercussions to the troops when the plan didn't work the way the General wanted it tol

This is one of Stanley Kubrick's early films. It's mostly anti-war and has his traditional great craftmenship that was apparent in all of his films.

The old statement about wars being declared by oldmen, while the young die is revealed in this classic antiwar movie. Shows the flawed thinking that went into the carnage of WWl.

I found this in the bargain bin and honestly bought it for the picture on cover haha just discovered it's a Kubrick so BONUS!
