Patton/YMMV
< Patton
- Award Snub: Inverted; George C. Scott infamously snubbed his own Academy Award for this film, calling the competition between actors a "meat parade."
- Crowning Music of Awesome: BAHDUHDUH-DahDuhDuh-dahduhduh-dahduhduh...
- Foe Yay: The German analyst Steiger has this toward Patton. He's the only one to genuinely sympathize with the son of a bitch.
- Magnificent Bastard: Trope Namer in reference to his Worthy Opponent, Erwin Rommel:
 |
Patton: Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your BOOK! |
 |
- Memetic Mutation: Patton's "You Magnificent Bastard, I read your book!" spawned a new phrase which, among other things, named a trope.
- The scene of Patton before a huge American flag giving the world's most famous pep talk has been homaged and parodied in other films.
- Misaimed Fandom: The film was a favorite of Richard Nixon's, who watched it shortly before ordering an invasion of Cambodia.
