2. Patton
For the most part, Hollywood’s 1970 portrayal of General George Patton is on the money in terms of both the narrative and the characterization of the famous WWII general. Some small facts were changed — for example, Patton slapped the crap out of two cowardly soldiers, not one — but Patton is still pretty faithful to the real story, overall. That extra touch of realism makes George C Scott’s portrayal and Francis Ford Coppola’s script really pop off the screen, even four decades after the film’s release.
