They chose "Deliverance?"  That's crazy.  They deserve this  to say the least...

I think Deliverance is well deserving of the honor; a great film.

I agree, although I've always felt a little sorry for Ned Beatty.  "Squeal like a pig, boy!" is a hell of a way to make your debut into films.

Glad to see another Keaton in the registry, ONE WEEK is arguably my favorite Keaton short.  Still think more Stooge stuff needs to be there, surely Shemp belongs in the registry (and no, THE BANK DICK doesn't count).
