Titles Comprise:
Deliverance remains one of the screen's most powerful man vs. nature adventures and chronicles the journey of four Atlanta 'weekend warriors' who set off in canoes down a dangerous Georgia river and discover a wilderness of terror.
John Boorman's taut direction builds the tension and fear to a raging climax, as the men travel beyond their comfort zone and are forced to face more than they could have ever imagined. Vilmos Zsigmond's expert cinematography captures the wilderness of forest and river, while Eric Weissberg's classic musical theme, Dueling Banjos, provides a perfect counterpoint to the action.
Get Carter (1971): Double Academy Award winner Michael Caine plays the relentless title character, an ice-cold, efficiently lethal London mobster investigating his brother's death in the seedy Newcastle underworld.
Dog Day Afternoon: On a hot Brooklyn afternoon, two optimistic losers set out to rob a bank. Sonny (Al Pacino) is the mastermind, Sal (John Cazale) is the follower, and disaster is the result. Because the cops, crowds, TV cameras and even the pizza man have arrived. The "well-planned" heist is now a circus.
Based on a true incident, this thriller earned six Academy Award nominations.
