Patton
- Who's watched: M & G
- Mentions: *1*
- Commentary: Mom doesn't remember this movie from watching to watching, but, each viewing rivets her, nonetheless. Her memory of WWII and her service in the Navy snap to attention in frequent spasms throughout the movie.
Me? It's one of my all time favorites, not just for performance, or other film-making qualities, but I often think of this movie when I meditate on the subject of conflict.
Roger Ebert christened this as one of his Great Movies, the review for which I linked to the title of this post.
