I would maybe rate Band Of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan on the same level. Not every movie has to be compared on the same scale.
Dunkirk wastes no time with needless dialogues or long inspiring monologue by the main characters. It's taut as a string, tense, brilliantly shot and you can feel the tension and despair of the soldiers in every frame. Although you are not given a detailed back story about any character(which again is a trait I absolutely love) there's a lot of nuisances and small details which of you observe gives insight about them. I've watched it 3 times by now and it holds up brilliantly at every viewing.
But then again, as I said earlier, these things are completely subjective to each individual.

so you would rate classic movies like The Great Escape, Platoon, Schindler's List, where eagles dare, The guns of Navarone, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Salvador .. (need I list more) ...Below Dunkirk???? ..... if YES then don't mind me, you don't know what you are saying OR how to rate .......BUT I agree these things are completely subjective to each individual, so yea peace ..
And BTW and FYI, the list I have shared is only the TIP of the iceberg of the plethora of war movies that are HELL better in every respect than Dunkirk .... Movies Like Downfall, Hamburger Hill, The beast, Letters from Iwo Jima, ... ... and I haven't even begin listing the Chinese Hong Kong contribution, with movies like City of life and death, and ASSEMBLY, which are miles ahead from Dunkirk ...........
Dunkirk could not even get the histro right ......
