George Lucas was a fan of "The Dam Busters" and there are a few lines lifted directly from the movie and used in the Death Star battle in the original "Star Wars".
One of my favorite movies of all time: "Bridge on the River Kwai".

Peter (Lord of the Rings) Jackson has had a remake of 'Dambusters' on the boards for a couple of years. Its all gone quiet, seems to have died. One notable issue was the codeword for success, taken from the name of mission commander Guy Gibson black Labrador.
One amazing thing about the Dambusters movie is the inclusion of real War Ministry test footage, including shots where the bomb bounced up back into the aircraft travelling at 250 knots at 60 feet, and where clearly, crews died.
