    Ned Beatty was BOTD in 1937 & died in 2021 at 83. In 1972, he made his film debut as Bobby Trippe in John Boorman's "Deliverance". His character is forced to strip at gunpoint by two mountain men who humiliate and rape him, a scene so shocking that it is became a screen milestone

    Seriously, though, some day I'd love to host a double-bill of this and DELIVERANCE (which is a remarkable film, make no mistake) and then watch how audiences respond - and which one newcomers would be more offended by 🤦‍♀️. Not that the results would be surprising. 😐😔 #TheLastDriveIn #MutantFam -SMF

    Regarding Iñárritu, I love The Revenant, which I'd put right up alongside any similar Ordeal movie you'd care to name—Sorcerer, Deliverance, Ravenous, Aguirre, that Pluribus episode in the jungle etc. Haven't seen or heard a thing about any of his other movies that makes me want to see them at all!

    Ethan Hawke and Russell Crowe ignite the screen in THE WEIGHT, a movie that alternately reminded me of William Friedkin's SORCERER and John Boorman's DELIVERANCE. It's in theaters this week. Here's my review: aisleseat.com/the-weight.h... #filmsky

    TW: Rant I wish I could watch Con in Mother Molly's Clap house, but I can't get past the pig thing. I'm from an area where the film Deliverance is set and even though I refuse to see the film, I know what happens in a certain scene from word of mouth and jokes about hillbillies or Mountain Men.

    THE WEIGHT is a movie designed to make me specifically hoot and holler. All-time performance by Ethan Hawke. Shades of Sorcerer, Deliverance, 3:10 to Yuma, and even Predator. Insane this isn't playing in more theaters or getting more marketing, I should not have had to drive to Jersey for this.

    I read where they wanted to film Deliverance in Florida but the governor didn't allow it. So they went to northern Georgia which led Burt and Jimmy Carter to help co-found the Georgia Film Commission setting up a lot of future filming in Georgia.

    "Excalibur" is a GREAT film! Meaning that Boorman got three great films made in his career, adding to "Deliverance" and "Point Blank." Three great films in a career is an excellent achievement. #BoormanAndTheDevil #TCMParty #FilmsOnFilm

The result was one of the biggest disasters in movie history, a critical and financial failure that not only changed

    They had heard of it on a show somewhere, I sort of filled in some blanks. It let us on a Google binge to find other movies director John Boorman directed, and it turns out Zardoz wasn't his last film, although it may be his weirdest. Among others, he also directed Excalibur and Deliverance!

    I always enjoyed his earlier movies best—Deliverance, White Lightning, and The Longest Yard—where he played himself. Even if The Longest Yard was his transitional movie which led to the very likable Smokey and the Bandit. Unfortunately, that one led to a LOT of lazy and very sloppy movie-making.
