    Best scene eh?

    I have a few favorites like:

    When Patton arrived to take command in North Africa and was in the HQ building and awoke a sleeping G.I. by kicking him in the butt. The G.I. yelled: "Who the hells kicking me in the butt!?"

    Another favorite scene is the combat scene showed in which Patton first fought Rommels Afrika Korps.

    Another favorite scene in when the American Armored column ran out of gas and hada to fight a column of Germans.

    BUT I think the best scene in the movie had Patton outside his HQ building during a Luftwaffe low-level bombing/strafing attack and Patton was standing in the middle of the street firing his pistol at the two German aircraft all the while he was being fired on by gunners in the aircraft.

    I agree with all of those, especially the one where he's being shot at by the Luftwaffe. Afterwards, he calmly says "If I ever find the Nazi son of a bitch who was flyin that thing, I'd give the guy a medal!"

    The scene when Patton takes Bradley to the old Carthaginian battlefield, and talks about having fought there 2500 years before.

    Sends chills up your spine.:eek:
