#166. Deliverance
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e5/Deliverance_poster.jpg
Dir: John Boorman
Genre: Suspense/Thriller
Year: 1972

Protip: don't convince your fiancee to watch this movie at 10 AM on a Sunday because "it's a classic." It gets pretty brutal pretty fast--something I had forgotten. Oh well, you live and learn!

Deliverance could never be made now, so I am glad they were able to film it when they did. It's quite politically incorrect, but nevertheless tells a layered story about xenophobia that could really be used as an allegory in any setting. I also happen to be a sucker for the look of Appalachia, so the beautiful shots and cinematography really seal the deal for me.
