My plea to Criterion is please rerelease James Whale's 1930 production of Journey's End with Colin Clive and Raoul Walsh's 1926 production of What Price Glory? with Victor McLaglen and Edmund Lowe plus the 4 sequels that followed.

If somebody told me they felt that 1917 was the best WWI film, I would have a hard time arguing that they were wrong. There certainly are many excellent ones, but 1917 is a sight to behold. I will echo a shout out to Lawrence of Arabia, as that is my favorite film.
