With all the stars that have been dying recently, maybe it's time to celebrate the great man's films, while he is still alive.

Stroker Ace (1983)

Smokey & The Bandit

Bandit Bird

 

Sharky's Machine, Malone, and Deliverance are my favorites.

 

"You gotta purdy mouth boy."

 

Not the best, but I just got a copy for $3 ...
Hooper

 

ummm, cannonball run anyone?

 

I remember as a kid that the chick that jumps out of the cake in Hooper was the first set of cans I saw in a movie!


I think I was 6.

 

Big fan of Gator too. Nice to see Jerry Reed as a bad guy!

 

What about his tough guy movie "The Longest Yard" my fellow American football fans? CalStang

 

Smokey and the Bandit is sacred in our house.

 

as it should be in every house

me and pops know the entire movie, and almost dont need to be watching it to recite it

 

Does anybody remember just one his 1st appearance on TV ? /Hint: it was a popular show in the early 60's. //It was more popular than the others he was involved in at the time.

 

gunsmoke?

 

Man, I remember seeing Smoky and the Bandit as kid... and coming home quoting some Jackie Gleason's "one liners", only to get into HUGE trouble

ha good stuff some bad werds tho

 

Smokey & the Bandit and The longest yard is cool too.

 

Ain't two thangs i scared of...

women and the poleece

 

Yup, Burt in the ambulance with Farrah Fawcett and Jack Elam as the "doctor". Burt was pretty good for light romatic comedy and in 1983 he did Blake Edwards' comedy The Man Who Loved Women, with Julie Andrews as the psychiatrist. Not bad if you can find it cheap on DVD.

To think Burt turned down the role of astronaut in Terms Of Endearment because he promised a buddy he would do Stroker Ace. Jack Nicholson was second choice and went on to get the Academy Award for best actor and the rest is history.

 

the man that loved women, was also a good one

 

bert never acted .. he was bert in every thing he did

 

Methinks that it wouldn't have even been close to the same without Jack Nicholson.

I kinda liked 'Stick'. It was a different movie for Burt, compared to all those shenanigan movies. And I liked Dar Robinson's character.. especially that dramatic fall from the balcony. Sweet.
