Movie Night: Smokey and the Bandit.

Review #033: Smokey and the Bandit.

Cast
Burt Reynolds (Bo "Bandit' Darville), Sally Field (Carrie), Jerry Reed (Cledus "Snowman" Snow), Jackie Gleason (Sheriff Buford T. Justice), Mike Henry (Junior Justice), Pat McCormick (Big Enos Burdette), Paul Williams (Little Enos Burdette), Macon McCalman (Mr. B), Susan McIver (Hot Pants), and George Reynolds (Sheriff Branford) Directed by Hal Needham.

Review
This film is a load of fun. The film has lots of comedy that are actually really good. As of this post, this film is 33 years old, and it still holds up as the 2nd best film of 1977 (I think you know my favorite film of that year is...). Anyway, the characters are contrasting, with Bandit and Buford T. Justice. I also love how the film has one of the best cool looking cars ever, the Pontiac Trans Am all in black. This film is a good flick to watch, and arguably one of the best comedies I've seen.

Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
