Bandit helped keep a generation of car enthusiasts "enthused" during the malaise era at the end of the seventies and early eighties. RIP Burt.

For all the light-hearted stuff he did, he was also an excellent actor in serious roles (Deliverance).
I have always loved watching his movies.


RIP Bandit

I don't know how many times I watched Smokie and the bandit movie as a kid.
That and the Cannonball Run movies, great times.
I have them on DVD now, i think I'll try and find some time to sit down and watch again.

Sally Field is honoring Burt Reynolds with special words following his death on Thursday morning.

DELETED PICTURE BECAUSE IT RENDERS TOO LARGE

Quote:
“There are times in your life that are so indelible, they never fade away,” Field said in a statement to PEOPLE. “They stay alive, even forty years later. My years with Burt never leave my mind. He will be in my history and my heart, for as long as I live. Rest, Buddy.”

Field and Reynolds first met on the set of their film Smokey and the Bandit in 1977 and swiftly began dating. The two went on to star together in four films and dated for nearly five years before calling it quits in 1982.

Despite their breakup, Reynolds revealed in a 2015 interview with Vanity Fair that he still loved Field decades later, calling her the “love of my life.”

Reynolds said he continued to “miss her terribly,” adding, “Even now, it’s hard on me. I don’t know why I was so stupid. Men are like that, you know. You find the perfect person, and then you do everything you can to screw it up.”
