9. Deliverance (1972)
Four Atlanta businessmen decide to take a trip down a Georgia river before a dam is built that will flood the area. Along the way, they manage to piss off some locals because they act like arrogant, know it all s**ts. Along the way on their first day, the men get separated in their canoes. Bobby and Ed pull up to terra firma to get their bearings, only to be accosted by some hillbillies looking for trouble. Rape is a an act of ultra violence whether it is carried out on a man or a woman. Bobby is violently raped by the yokels who force him into squealing like a pig. Ed is tied to a tree whilst this heinous act is going on. The other men Lewis and Drew arrive on the scene and frighten the hillbillies away and kill the man who raped Bobby. The rape scene is a piece of film that was necessary to show what our four guys are up against. Bobby's subsequent trauma after bing violated is very believable. But I wonder what sort of an impact it had on Ned Beatty's career - being the squealing guy from Deliverance.
