Great Movie...A Must See

Rating: Null/10 (24 September 1999)

I saw that George C. Scott passed away a couple of days ago. If you have not seen this movie, he gives one of the greatest performances in film history. The opening scene alone is worth the price of the rental. I recently heard that the coach of the Colorado Buffaloes played this scene for his players before a game to motivate them.
The movie chronicles Patton through his landing in Africa through the final European victory. The movie is essentially a documentary, but it movies quickly and is never boring. Patton is such an interesting character. he refutes authority and believes that he has lived many lives as a warrior throughout the past 2000 years. In my opinion, it is not only the best war movie of all time, but one of the 10 best movies from any category. There is also a great performance from Karl Maldon as General Omar Bradley.
