What Historical Movie would you like to see made?

Havent you ever seen Sink the Bismark. I love that movie



It seems the reviewer agrees with you though

Sink the Bismarck! is, up to date, the only movie made that deals directly with the operations, chase, and sinking of the battleship Bismarck. It is a British production based on the book of Cecil S. Forester (1899-1966): “Hunting the Bismarck”. The movie starts with original newsreel footage of Bismarck's launching in Hamburg. The main character is the fictitious British Chief of Operations, Captain Shepard, a cool man devoted to do his job who tries to keep his own personal feelings away. What people tend to criticise in this movie is the portrayal of personality of Admiral Lütjens. He is depicted as fanatical Nazi with a blind faith in his "unsinkable" battleship; moreover, he refuses to accept any suggestions from Captain Lindemann whose role in the movie depicts him as very passive character.

The models of the warships used are good, but the movie itself has a few historical mistakes. For example, two Swordfish are shot down, and a British destroyer (HMS Solent!) is blown up by the Bismarck, when actually nothing of the kind really ever happened. Anyway, besides those details, and keeping in mind the year of production, the movie is accurate enough, and every Bismarck fan would enjoy it. Let's hope to see a new Bismarck movie soon.
