Forty years after it was made, this 1972 John Boorman film remains powerful, potent and, in terms of adventure stories set on and near the water, pretty much unsurpassed – it’d be the perfect double feature with The African Queen. Deliverance stars Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds, Ronny Cox and Ned Beatty as suburbanites out for a weekend adventure on a river about to be dammed, and getting a lot more adventure than they imagined. It’s a primal movie, with music, sequences, images and lines of dialogue that will never, ever leave you. Squeeeeal like a pig!
