of course, if you are into chickflix, one of the subplots of the film Mrs Miniver showed her husband going off to war on his small boat to rescue those at Dunkirk...(while she grabs the gun and captures a downed German pilot). Archive.org has clips of that film.
then there is the story of the Snow Goose:
the modern movies tend to be "gritty", but the real story of Dunkirk is that it has morphed into myth: That when confronted with two choices, surrender or death, the British chose neither and devised a way to survive.
