Joey Lauren Adams lived in Oxford for a long time and drive an old antique truck and smoked Marlboro reds.

That movie is perfection.

Deliverance (1972)

People get so hung up on the pig scene, but Deliverance is a brilliant movie. And the way they were able to incorporate the in-real-life flooding of Lake Jocassee in South Carolina was excellent timing. The cemetery they show towards the end of the movie is like 100 feet beneath the lake now.

The story that I heard was that until Burt Reynolds did it (and he actually did it himself), no one had been recorded going down the Chattooga in a canoe.

1966’s version of Natalie Wood? Would

Since y'all like classic southern, here's one from 1956..

Southern comfort

I'm fascinated by the love this gets here

When I was a kid it was hated for its depiction of Cajuns

I remember letters being sent to the TP about a Fall Guy episode where the chick is kidnapped by drooling Deliverance-types who tell her they're going to show her what it means "to be a Cajun"

I've been around cajuns enough to know exactly "what it means to be cajun" and it means the same thing as backwoods redneck and Arkansas hillbilly.

All those frickers are best taken in small doses.

Linklater has said the movie was based upon his time at Bellaire and Huntsville HS in the mid 70's

For some reason I always thought he was from the burbs but now i realize that bellaire was the burbs in the 70s.
