The featured films are "All Quiet on the Western Front," "Sergeant York," "Gallipoli," and "War Horse."
Riede explained viewing the films during the anniversary of WWI reveals how great movies can be made and based on a tragic experience.
"This is a chance to educate students, faculty and staff and the broader community about the war and cultural works made that were inspired by the war," Riede said.
