5 Movies You Didn’t Know Were Written By Famous Directors
2. Patton (Francis Ford Coppola)
Patton is probably one of the more esteemed films on this list, having won 7 Academy Awards (including Best Picture). It is an iconic film, famous for the classic opening scene where General Patton delivers an impassioned speech. What many people dont know is how much of this film was written by none other than Francis Ford Coppola.
Before the Godfather, before Apocalypse Now, before Jack (sorry, couldnt resist) Coppola was trying to get work wherever he found it and lucked out with Patton. The film was a huge success and two years later, Francis Ford Coppola would once again make history by giving us all an offer that couldnt be refused.
