Nah, best Monthy Python's film is "Brian's Life"...hands down
And U-571 is not only unnacurate historically but also unbeliable...those images of the sub getting depth charges so close are laughable, that means the sub go down fast or,if lucky, GO UP ASAP!
Not to forget that in 1942, and in that situation I'm sure that a german destroyer would be the most dangerous thing for the captured U-boat, sure...with all the british Coastal command looking for u-boats they choose to go to england all thru the western approaches...LOL!!!
And one wonders what was that DD doing in the middle of the atlantic, fishing I suppose (maybe Hitler wanted fish for dinner but with the blockade he couldnt have it), and rowing quite a bit(German DD endurance was ridiculous)...
And Type XIV milk cows U boats like the one they sink in the film, were unarmed...
And the enigma machine itself was worth nothing. The bassic and most needed thing was the code book, not the machine.
Endless mistakes in that film. Was entertaining, that is true, but if you try to look into it with a few of realism critizism...lol
