Every critic I know considers Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather” to be the best picture of 1972. Except for me. For that year, I proudly choose John Boorman’s adventure thriller “Deliverance” as not only the best film of the year, but one of my 10 best of the entire decade. Based on William Dickey’s 1970 novel of the same name, “Deliverance” follows four city men from Atlanta on a harrowing weekend canoe trip that changes their lives forever.
