I remember the scene from Patton when the priest says he is surprised to see The Bible at Patton’s bedside. He asked him if he actually read it. Patton replied, “Every damn night.”

And who can forget Patton viewing the smoking wrecks of German tanks and shouting "Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I READ YOUR BOOK!"

The coolest thing about that is that in the script the line was, “stupid bastard.” Somewhere between script and “print,” either George C. Scott or Franklin Schaffner made the incredibly insightful change.
