Best acting job ever.

Rating: Null/10 (1 September 2007)

George C. Scott gets my vote as the finest performance ever in the movies with this role as General Patton. I was in college when I went to a matinÃ©e and saw this film with about 5 other people in the theater. I sat stunned the entire movie and could not get up and leave when it finished. I sat through the whole movie a second time. I then went to the library and looked up everything I could read about Patton and World War II. No film or performance has ever had that effect on me. Many can argue greatest roles ever. Cagney in Yankee Doodle Dandy, or Brando in The Godfather. But for me, this is #1. Can you honestly even picture someone else in this role? That is very rare to say in films.
Thank you Mr. Scott. No movie character ever moved me in such a way as this one did. I'll remember it all my days.
