If you've never read it, I'd suggest Johnny Got His Gun, by Dalton Trumbo. It's still the best novel about war, sacrifice, and humanity that I've read.
The Killer Angels is an excellent, excellent war novel, and even though it's about the American Civil War and not a world war, it's well worth reading. King Rat is a great novel.
Movies- Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence- I don't think that enough people have seen it. Black Hawk Down is one of the more gripping modern stories that I've seen on film. (Of course, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, almost every episode of MASH, Bridge on the River Kwai, Midway, The Year of Living Dangerously, Schindler's List...and too many more.)
If you really want good WWI entertainment, I'd suggest Blackadder Goes Forth. Being Blackadder, it is funny as hell, but it is also very moving.
And as a Canadian female who liked Anne of Green Gables, I'd recommend reading Rilla of Ingelside in combination with The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery: Vol. 2, 1910-1921. The author of Anne of Green Gables was not happy and chipper, but had a real insight into the lives of the people left at home.
In the far north before the ice builds to a good thickness you will see cars and trucks with a long medium sized tree trunk tied across the front bumper so that if the ice breaks your vehicle won't sink immediately and you will have time to get out( Seen this out on Lake Temagami). Man you want a good read about driving across ice Denison's Ice Road is awesome.
Scaachi also wrote an amazing book of essays that I highly recommend. Scaachi’s book
Not the doc, but I own this:

I know this isn’t the trivia thread, but the poet Sir Charles GD Roberts was known to some — probably including bored students made to study his poetry — as “Sir Charles God Damn”.
While I dislike Steve Simmons very much, people here should read his book "The Lost Dream." It's a really good book about Mike Danton. For those that didn't read the article posted by /u/AwfulHomesick he's the player that went to jail for conspiracy to commit murder. It is an incredibly bizarre story.
