RIP Burt Reynolds

I reckon just about everybody would have seen Smokey and The Bandit.

I suppose we are all getting old.

Deliverance was my favourite Burt Reynolds film

Smokey and The Bandit was mine favorite

yep, we getting old.

Watched Smokey and the Bandit II just last week. No doubt we will be watching all his films in the coming few weeks. R.I.P. Bandit.

Barely related Lotus content: famously crashed a Citroen SM in the opening scenes of The Longest Yard.

 

Very prolific actor. RIP, Bandit.

Boogie Nights was one of his better films in later life

He called the wrong doctor.

Cannonball Run FTW.

Woman on sky news last night said her favourite film of his was an Italian film called The Leopard. 

 

It started Burt Lancaster😧

Close, but no cigar.

Very sad  news ,  Lat time i had seen Burt on the screen in recent years

I have to go Mean Machine from the 70’s - brilliant film.

i didn’t realise until last week when I was watching a recent remake - he’s in that one as well playing a different character.

RIP Burt, always made me smile when I heard that laugh.... Favorite film would be White lighting..... old V8 sound 👍and throwing around the old yank tanks......

I think everyone should watch the film cannonball run in his honour especially car folks

Was the wing on the nose added for the movie? Never noticed it before.

Bit late to the party on this (well, to the wake 😞).

Deliverance is still one of my favourite movies, and Burts road-trip movies are etched in my memories of childhood.

What a man... what a Gif!
