#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Burt Reynolds, one of Hollywood’s most popular leading men during the ’70s and early ’80s via such films as “Deliverance,” “Smokey and the Bandit, “The Longest Yard” and “Semi-Tough,” has died. He was 82. Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 R.I.P. Was looking frail for some time. Not too familiar with his work, but definitely an icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Parker 3,040 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Well shucks. An iconic paradigm of rugged masculinity. I have a soft spot for films like White Lightning and The Longest Yard. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 RIP Isn't he supposed to appear in Tarantino's new Hollywood opus too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,518 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Sad news. He had more charisma than he had acting chops, although he did surprise now and then (like BOOGIE NIGHTS). John Williams scored one Burt Reynolds movie, THE MAN WHO LOVED CAT DANCING. Perhaps I'll put on that in his memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher 350 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Sadly I knew this was coming, he had been looking sickly for a while now. Hooper is a great Hollywood send-off, and the original The Longest Run rules. RIP!!! 3 hours ago, KK said: RIP Isn't he supposed to appear in Tarantino's new Hollywood opus too? Sadly, apparently no. He died before he could film his part. Could have been a great final film too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick1Ø66 4,720 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I read at one point he had four movies out in a single year! That’s like more than all the movies Spielberg has cast Mark Rylance in combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 He was best in B films like White Lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
