I don't know if they are classic or if I'd recommend them, but Cabin Fever, the House of Wax remake and Dead End come to mind.
A true classic though is the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Deliverance immediately came to mind. My understanding is that most of the background characters were actually locals hired on to be featured in the movie. The banjo playing feral kid was one such local, and went on to give guided canoe tours following the movie. The one hillbilly, Herbert 'Cowboy' Coward, was an acquaintance of Burt Reynolds and they had worked together previously (If memory serves me, it was for a carnival). When informed that his character would be raping a man in the film, Howard replied: “I’ve done worse”  Another obscure movie (and best I can tell was the inspiration for The Dukes of Hazard) is Moonrunners (1975). |

talking redneck : slang and derogatory term for a poor white person, often who lives in the rural Southern United States and who often has conservative or bigoted attitudes. or Hillbilly : a person from a backwoods or other remote area, especially from the mountains of the southern U.S.
Or Both ? pimpinainteasy
For example : Ma and Pa Kettle are hillbillies but as far as we know, not rednecks. |

Macon County Line (1974) Down south in Lousiana 1954, two roguish brothers are passing through, a final fun exploit before enlisting in the Army. After picking up a hitchhiker, their car breaks down near some backwater town, the local redneck Sheriff Morgan shows up. He warns them to stay out of trouble. Meanwhile, a couple of dangerous drifters ... An independent American film directed by Richard Compton, became the single most profitable film of 1974 , and a drive in cult classic...

Billy Jack (1971) half-breed American Navajo Indian, a Green Beret Vietnam War veteran, and a hapkido master. defends the hippie-themed Freedom School and students from the redneck element amongst the townspeople who do not understand or like the counterculture students.

Rednecks? Possibly. Hillbillies? Could be. Unsophisticated rustics? Certainly. Murder, He Says (1945)  A representative of the Trotter Poll (Fred MacMurray - "We're like the Gallop Poll but not as fast") in search of a missing colleague stumbles onto the remote farm of the larcenous, homicidal and mostly crazy Fleagle clan run by whip-crackin' Mamie (Marjorie Main), and finds himself mixed up with hidden loot, an escaped convict, a scientific formula of dubious value that makes things - and people - glow in the dark and a seemingly nonsensical nursery rhyme that may have more meaning than anyone suspects. There are impersonations, mistaken identities, double-crosses, a climactic brawl in a hay barn and sight gags aplenty, one of which is a much-funnier forerunner of the Young Frankenstein "dead hand" bit that involves MacMurray, two legs and a semi-conscious Fleagle, along with some great dialogue (when dying Grandma Fleagle accuses, "I'm poisoned, and they're the ones that done it to me," Mamie barks, "Whaddaya wanna do? Live forever?") . Porter Hall, Jean Heather, Helen Walker, Barbara Pepper and Peter Whitney (as identical twins Mert and Bert) contribute to the hilarity. I like to cite this film as evidence that MacMurray, in place of Cary Grant, would have been ideal casting as Arsenic and Old Lace's Mortimer. |
