Who ever thought you could make a horror movie out of a nature trip? In his adaptation of the great James Dickey novel “Deliverance,” director John Boorman brings a terrifying story to vivid life. Four businessmen journey to the wilds of Appalachia to enjoy manly pursuits (fishing, hunting) before this unspoiled stretch of back country is flooded by a new dam. Their adventure turns into a nightmare when a pair of demented mountain men prey on them. Starring Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight, Ronny Cox and Ned Beatty, who has the movie’s most devastating scene.

Song-and-dance duo Bob Wallace and Phil Davis ((Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye) take a break from the road at a New England ski resort and run into two singing sisters (Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen). Let the romantic complications — and the songs — begin. Clooney is a wow here, at the height of her beauty, and the guys are charming, even if they seem like old men. This might be the only movie where the star (Crosby) gets up in the middle of the night to drink a glass of buttermilk.
