Patton, a film about the kind of hard men America used to produce

This 1970 film directed by Franklin J. Schaffner and starring George C. Scott in the title role, has stood the test of time and could truly be called a classic.

That’s the difference between what Hollywood used to produce and the garbage that gets passed of as quality film making today. 20 years from now I doubt very highly anyone will consider Avatar a classic. But, Patton will be right there in the conversation along with The Godfather.

Patton was a hard man that would stick out like a sore thumb today in a country filled with chic-a-fied men. He was a kick ass take charge kind of guy that just got the job done. He was a tough breed tempered by a steel nerve.

We need more men him today!
