I guess we all have different definitions of what a good movie is .. it's a subjective thing isn't it !

Me, I reckon the movie industry does a great job of perpetuating fantasy in its many forms. Primarily, at the end of the day, these blockbuster movies are made with the movie company shareholders in mind and the hopeful big profits involved.

I would rather watch a well researched documentary myself , but again , all of history is subjective to some degree and even doco's are open to many types of opinions and imperfections.

I noticed in the Dunkirk movie preview ( shown on tellie here ATM and repeated endlessly ) some of the smallish naval vessels seen off shore the Dunkirk beach look similar to the post war built RN Ton class minesweepers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton-class_minesweeper
