R.I.P. Burt Reynolds

 
Smokey and the Bandit, Longest Yard and Cannonball Run are three of my favorite movies that Burt did. I just found him funny and charming in anything he did. And nobody worked that 70s porn mustache like Burt. Well Tom Seleck too.
 


Norm McDonald does the best Burt impression of them all.



When you saw Burt Reynolds cast in a movie, you knew you were in for a ride. That's because movies like Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run were so much fun, but the actor was perhaps even more famous for his dramatic roles in films like Deliverance and Boogie Nights. With chiseled features and a smile like a schoolboy's, Reynolds could play any part as a seasoned entertainer and make us grin or set us on edge. And it probably has something to do with the actor's early start in television.

Is it disrespectful to really hope Burt Reynolds' coffin is black with gold trim and a large gold Firebird emblem? 'Cause that's how I always imagined it would be.

It should be those color Monc but no one thinks of these things anymore.
