The Rotten Tomatoes scores are very impressive too, racking up a critics score of 92 per cent and an audience score of 90 per cent.
It is adapted from German author Erich Maria Remarque’s eponymous novel and is the third adaptation after one in 1930 and a second in 1979.
All Quiet on the Western Front is being tipped for an Oscar, and it’s not the only much-discussed film being submitted for an academy award.
Indie horror film Terrifier 2 has been submitted for Oscar consideration because it's "just too hilarious of an opportunity to pass up”, according to the film’s producers.
The box office hit sequel was released in August this year and focused on Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) who terrorizes a teenage girl Sienna Shaw (Lauren LaVera) and her younger brother Jonathan Shaw (Elliott Fullam) on Halloween night.
