Excellent portrayal of a true, American hero!

POSSIBLE SPOILERS
This is my new favorite war film. General George S. Patton is now one of my most admired individuals in history. Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, and George Washington cannot match up to how well this guy led his army.
With Patton's use of profanity aside, this is a good film about the realities and the pressures of war and a good history lesson for all. I'd recommend this to history buffs, college history majors (like myself), historians, and history professors alike.
You cannot mention WWII (or the Battle of the Bulge, for that matter) without mentioning General Patton. He is in a class by himself. The late George C. Scott played Patton so wonderfully that his role fit him like a glove. You just got to see this movie...it's fantastic!
