Watched that flick yesterday... Not half bad considering when it was made. My biggest gripe, though—and it’s a total eyesore—is that they spent days out in the woods yet their faces were still clean-shaven like newborns.

The cast is solid, though. They really knocked it out of the park.👍

Alright, maybe a +4!😁

It was filmed back in 1972—so how does that even work? I don't follow. 😕

Nicole Morgan55 said:But maybe the biggest issue—the thing that just sticks out like a sore thumb—is the fact that they spent days out in the woods, yet their faces are still perfectly smooth? I mean, seriously, they look like they haven't even seen a razor!

Dammit, I'm an amateur... 😁

Movies are everything—period. 👍

I have a profound appreciation for John Ford. After that film, I found myself eagerly anticipating the release of Excalibur.

It was quite an ordeal, attempting to master Duel on the banjo. That young boy possesses a truly remarkable talent. 🙂

Hold up. You mean you actually transcribed it from the movie, or did you just grab an MP3 online? Or what? 🤔

Think about the musical notes, though! He actually taught her how to play them!

Honestly, you internet-reliant generations are something else. 1😁😛 😉

Does anyone know if this has been released on DVD here in the States?

I’ve had this one sitting on my shelf at home for a year now—literally a year—and I still haven't managed to sit down and watch it... I keep telling myself it probably isn't even that great anyway.

Once I finally get through it, I'll post some thoughts.

I'll check it out and drop a thought later.

Watch it. It's heavy. In every sense of the word.

A total masterpiece.

Growing up, this movie was basically what Claire Danes describes in 'My So-Called Life' when talking about a car crash—it’s terrifying and ugly, but you just can't look away.

Dammit, none of the local video stores around here carry it. Anyone out there willing to make me a backup copy?

It’s almost hard to believe—such a brilliant film, and the movie topic was just... well, it was everything.🤮

Here is a little fun fact you might not have realized... that police officer guarding the hospital room door is actually Ed O'Neill (Al Bundy)!

Have you actually seen Deliverance? — I mean, seriously... I guess maybe you haven't?

Good grief—that is an absolute classic. 🙏
