    Classic Burt Reynolds!
  • September 6, 2008
    This has some good stunts and car chases but looking a little old now.

    A funny romp across the highways of the South. The music and Gleason are a hoot!

    This is a classic. Not the greatest film but it has it's charm. Burt Reynolds is great in this and Jackie Gleason is great as the sheriff out to get the Bandit. I even had the Bandit car when I was a kid. One of my favorites as a kid. So some good memories are there with this f...( read more)ilm. This is just a fun film with a great cast and story. Worth a watch.

    Burt Reynolds knows how to drive a TransAm and that'a what makes this movie worth watching. Sally Fields is stunning as a young woman. Funny.

    Best movie ever. Funny, entertaining, and somewhat clean enough to watch as a family. The only thing bad about it is that they needed to make a version of the movie with Bo and Luke Duke in it.......General Lee and all.
