Thing is, you can make an entertaining movie that is reasonably historically accurate. Pearl Harbor and U-571 have excellent and pretty much historically accurate counterparts, 'Tora Tora Tora' and 'Das Boot'. The story line in 'Enigma', outside of the romance and spy in Bletchley Park, is historically accurate and based on actual events.

It can be done.
