It's now on Pay-Per-View and we watched it last night. Excellent... and very different than many other war movies (without a script as such or regular dialog).
Still amazes me that they got about 330,000 off the beaches back to the UK (though, thankfully, the 3 day "Halt" order by the Germans really helped). Anyway, I was just reading about it in terms of some of the technical scope:

"The British Army left enough equipment behind to fit out about eight to ten divisions. Discarded in France were, among other things, huge supplies of ammunition, 880 field guns, 310 guns of large caliber, some 500 anti-aircraft guns, about 850 anti-tank guns, 11,000 machine guns, nearly 700 tanks, 20,000 motorcycles and 45,000 cars and trucks."
