Deliverance - I was especially touched by the scene in which the hilbilly screws the city guy and gets him to squeal like a pig. I hasten to add that it's a metaphor for how I felt in the months leading up to my leaving the JWs: I felt screwed by self-righteous ignoramuses and subsequently did a lot of forced squealing.
I love the revenge scene in the movie: Rapist impaled from behind. Graphic to behold but oh such sweet revenge. (Hey, Dad, if you're reading this, I'm just kidding).

Cant believe no-one put 1984. If you have ever read it or seen the film- do so!
