Johnny Got His Gun is a returning classic from 1971, directed by Dalton Trumbo, following a young American soldier who recalls his life after a WWI artillery shell leaves him in a pseudocoma, with Timothy Bottoms and Donald Sutherland among the cast. It is a serious, moving war drama best suited to older teens and adults rather than young children, and it earns a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.8 on IMDb.
