Need some 70's Southern Gothic movie picks

[Mikey]

Been getting into 70's Southern Gothic movies and i'm running out of memories of ones I used to like.

At this point I recently watched Return to Macon County and Tick - Tick -Tick.

My mind is drawing blank on other good ones

[hobub]

Here are a few to check out.

White lightning and Gator come to mind. Any Burt Reynolds movie (some comedy some not), Deliverance, Hooper, Smokey and the Bandit for instance.
Moonrunners influenced the Dukes of Hazzard.
Convoy with Kris Kristoferon
Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry with Peter Fonda as well as Easy Rider
I walk the line - Gregory Peck
Bonnie and Clyde - from 1967 Warren Beatty - not the 70s but one to see!
Any Billie Jack movie

Check out white line fever with Jan Michael Vincent. Look up his catalog for others.. There was a movie called Macon County Line which I Remember being a good one.

Hmmm--I guess I don't consider these movies mentioned as Southern Gothic. To me, Southern Gothic would be films like Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte; The Beguiled; Cape Fear; and Night of the Hunter.

Never heard the term Southern Gothic before. I was picturing Siouxsie Sioux playing a banjo.
