“One of the best 10 films of all time. “

Which movie; what is the title and year?
Thank you!

Patton: "We're gonna keep fighting. Is that CLEAR? We're gonna attack all night, we're gonna attack tomorrow morning. If we are not VICTORIOUS, let no man come back alive!"

Lt. Col. Charles R. Codman: "You know General, sometimes the men don't know when you're acting."

Patton: "It's not important for them to know. It's only important for me to know."

The original movie was made in 1972, starring George C. Scott as Patton and Karl Malden as General Omar Bradley. Clicking the graphic will take you to an Amazon link where you can see how expensive even used copies are . . . and, yes, the film was that good.

Thanks for the correction. I lived in a remote part of the country at the time, so maybe it was me who first saw it in 1972.

I like to joke and say my small hometown just got Gone With the Wind at the movies few months ago!
