Considered a realistic and harrowing account of warfare in World War I, it made the American Film Institute‘s first 100 Years…100 Movies list in 1997. A decade later, after the same organization polled over 1,501 workers in the creative community, All Quiet on the Western Front was ranked the seventh-best American epic film.[6][7] In 1991, the film was selected and preserved by the United States Library of Congress‘ National Film Registry as being deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.[8][9] The film was the first to win the Academy Awards for both Outstanding Production and Best Director.
