Excluding Smokey and the Bandit, your favorite Burt Reynolds performance? RIP
Boogie Nights would be up there for me...

The Longest Yard
Longest Yard , Deliverance
Longest Yard and Hooper.
Lets not forget about STROKER ACE
A young Burt was also in Gunsmoke way back when. Played a half Comanche/half white blacksmith named Quint Asper.
****. Burt died? Smokey is tops for me because it was in my wheelhouse but I’d probably have to agree with Boogie Nights.
"White Lightning" for me. Burt driving a souped-up Ford LTD with a 4 speed taking down the dirty cops. I'm all in....
And as a PS...as much as I like Smokey and the Bandit...Burt kinda became a caricature of himself after the sequel and really didn't recover until years later. Once you make a movie with Dom DeLuise and a kidnapped elephant it never helps your career.
Cannon Ball Run was a good one. I loved all BR's movies. Dude could carry the rock too!
Boogie Nights was his comeback. Great movie.
R.I.P.
I'm not a fan of Smokey And The Bandit. I'll go with Deliverance then Sharky's Machine.
saddened by this news. I always enjoyed his movies -very entertaining. Seemed like a down to earth guy for a mega -star.
He was great. Back in the early 80s my mother got ahold of his people somehow and they had this crazy idea to try and get him to appear at the "Battle of Byron" which was like a little town fair back then. Byron didn't even have a thousand people lol. She did actually talk to him on the phone and he apologized profusely that he would be out of country at the time or he would have came. He called her three times as a matter of fact. You're exactly right @donm. Great, down to earth guy.
I wonder what he left Loni Anderson in his will?
Lol. Zip
She already got the goldmine in their divorce settlement.
Reynolds went bankrupt, then had his house foreclosed on and he had to sell his ranch property as well.
