    • Quotes

      Deputy Reed Morgan: Hurry up on the car there. Don't want to keep these nice folk here any longer than we have to. I'm not going to like it. I wouldn't like that at all.

    Classic movies are too easily forgotten
    This is a great 1950's period piece movie. Similar in some ways to "The Last Picture Show". Unfortunately, Macon County Line never received any hype, and therefore has largely been forgotten. Too bad only 21 people have bothered to vote for this movie.

    If you would like to time travel back to the 50's, and get a feel for the rural South, this is an enjoyable movie to watch.
