You know you have a great movie when one of your only complaints is that it is far too short.  PATHS OF GLORY is early Kubrick, and it is equal parts DR. STRANGELOVE and FULL METAL JACKET.  It involves a French regiment  in WWI who are sent on a suicidal mission.  When many soldiers fall back because of its obvious futility, 3 are arrested and charged with "Cowardice in the face of the enemy".  Their Colonel (Kirk Douglas) defends them at their court martial.  This movie made me verbally angry, and Kubrick's classic cynicism at humanity's possibilities really shines through.  This is a wonderful movie, but at under 90 minutes long, I felt like I got shortchanged.  The battle seemed truncated and the court martial seemed rushed, but overall...it is fantastic stuff.
