One of the best films ever. No CGI just good script.

This film is almost 50 years old, but it's still one of the most enduring movies of all time.

This movie starts out like a fun trip but ends up a disaster for the men from the city

It's hard to think of Ned Beatty without thinking of "that scene." I don't know if it was a first. Women being raped has been depicted or implied in films, probably since the early days. Men, not so much.

j hope, That reminds me. I think I saw it at the drive-in too, though I was probably 18-19. It never occurred to me that more lax admission policies would have allowed little kids to see films like that. Sorry for your premature exposure to it.

I read that actor Bill Mckinney improvised the famous "Squeal like a pig" line.

Player #96919, bc hillbillies exist and ET doesn't.

I have mixed feelings about this movie. I enjoyed it until that horrific scene. The dueling banjos part was excellent!
