Anyone Else A Fan Of Southern Comfort?

This underated flick is in my top ten movies of alltime.
It was considered a Deliverance rip-off but IMO,was much better.
This flick had an allstar cast but flopped in the theaters.
I'm sure there are SC fans out there that will back me up!

I love it.. So many great quotable lines. Def one of my faves. I spent 6 years in the Army, and I knew these people. Especially the goofy "instructor got bit by a snake and cut his hand off" guy. Good tension with realistic comic relief.

Fantastic movie, with a cat-n-mouse scene with Powers Boothe near the end that is just about the pinnacle of suspense.

Walter Hill is a hugely underrated director.

Couldn't agree more. The Warriors, this, 48 Hrs., Streets of Fire, Extreme Prejudice, Trespass, Last Man Standing...man is a legend.

And Southern Comfort is great, like Deliverance with hints of the cat-and-mouse formula that worked so well with The Warriors. How can you go wrong with Keith Carradine, Powers Boothe, and Fred Ward as the leads?

It tastes really good mixed with Dr. Pepper.

I loved it when I taped it off HBO back in the 80's. I haven't seen it in over 20 years. I'll have to pick it up. Is the DVD any good?

I haven't seen it yet, but something tells me I'm gonna like it. It's been in my wishlist forever.

I love this movie. I saw it theatrically and maybe only one or two times since, but many scenes remain vivid in my mind. I'm a big Walter Hill fan.

I like it a lot but I don't think it's in the same league as Deliverance.

But I'm also a big Walter Hill fan, when he's on (when he's off, he can be pretty stinky). Favorite: Streets of Fire. It's unique.
