Coronel and the Falklands as a naval film

A screen adaptation could tell the Coronel and Falklands campaign as a multi-perspective hunt for von Spee's squadron.

Question

Which naval battle would you most like to see made into a film?

Short answer

The Coronel and Falklands campaign, told as a multi-perspective hunt for von Spee's squadron.

Notes

A well-made film or series could follow the campaign from the Admiralty, German, von Spee, and British fleet perspectives. Joining Coronel to the Battle of the Falkland Islands would turn two actions into the larger story of a pursuit. The changing viewpoints could show strategic decisions ashore alongside the movements and experiences of both fleets. The campaign is important but comparatively underexamined for a wider screen audience.
