A Bridge Too Far was fairly accurate account of Operation Market Garden. Was it great? No, but if you had a "good" category, I'd put it there.
Dunkirk was sometimes hard to follow because it kept switching days and nights. But it certainly did a good job in showing the precarious situation of the BEF. What it did poorly was in showing HOW that happened and WHY it was so important to rescue as many of those troops as possible. I'd mark it as adequate.
The Longest Day should be in the great category. I understand their is a colorized version out there someplace. Maybe it's because it's usually aired in B/W that people don't rank it higher.
Seen most of those in the splendid category and agree with those I've seen that you put there.
In the great category there were way too many inaccuracies to rate Pearl Harbor as great. I'd rate somewhere between bad and adequate - and only because of the battle scenes. Midway should be splendid (and the earlier version great).
So many I could add. I'm going to have to set aside some time to make my own list, too. all your fault! 😜
