That's why Band of Brothers is so perfect. It not only tells the true story, it includes comments by the real guys who are portrayed in the series. It's why I'll take Tora! Tora! Tora! or The Longest Day over Saving Private Ryan any time.
Das Boot is unique in that it doesn't really have a plot; it just follows a patrol as it goes from bad to worse. The only thing I can imagine being better would be a movie about one of the real aces.
