Patton - Rotten Tomatoes

I keep seeing Patton tanks in the movie Patton.

It is still an extremely well done movie and never gets old.

This has a lot of the crucial scenes from Patton. It does have SPOILERS.

Excellent movie

Great movie. I have a weakness for curmudgeons.

It's one of my favorite films. The opening scene is a classic.

I never will forget the first time I tried to watch the movie Patton. I was stationed at the 8th Radio Research Field station in Phu Bai Vietnam in 1970. The movie was to start at 12 midnight. A few minutes before midnight I head what to me sounded like our artillery shelling the North Vietnamese in the A Shau Valley. After a few seconds of continuing explosions, some 101st Airborne soldiers who apparently were better at distinguish incoming from outgoing rounds jumped up and ran outside. Although still hoping to watch the movie, I thought it best to step outside to see what was happening.

I could plainly see the mortar round explosions being walked down the street towards me. So, I gave up on watching the movie to run to secure my M-14 rifle, helmet, flak jacket and go to the trenches. I stayed in the trenches all night to then report to the operations room in the morning for another 12 hour shift intercepting enemy communications. I believe that it wasn’t until I returned home (USA) that I finally saw the movie Patton.

Sounds like real life interfered with enjoying depictions of life.

One of the best movies ever.

Thank you for your service. It is my hope that your children and grandchildren never have to experience war. And, together, you can all snuggle up and watch as many movies as you like.

Is your point those tanks should be Sherman's instead? Agree about it being a great movie, watched it too many times to count

Fury - Rotten Tomatoes

Really loved the movie Fury which shows various Sherman tanks in action. It was the tank used in WWII in 1944 or so by the US forces.
