Hal Needham’s SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT
(PG, 1977, 100 min)
"East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’…" Burt Reynolds is the legendary Bandit, the charming rogue hired to smuggle 400 cases of Coors beer across state lines — fast, clever, and hilariously illegal. With his buddy Cledus “Snowman” Snow (Jerry Reed) and the spirited Carrie (Sally Field) in tow, he tears up the highways, leaving chaos and laughter in his wake. Hot on his tail is the outrageously obsessed Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason), delivering some of the funniest, over-the-top lines and relentless pursuit in movie history. Equal parts stunts, absurd antics, and old-school swagger, Smokey and the Bandit is the funniest film your dad ever loved — and you’ll get why.

Steve Carver’s LONE WOLF McQUADE
(PG, 1983, 107 min)
“Chuck Norris doesn’t do push-ups. He pushes the Earth down.” Texas Ranger J.J. McQuade (Chuck Norris) is a one-man army, a lone wolf with a karate kick for every problem. When arms dealer Rawley Wilkes (David Carradine) hijacks a U.S. Army convoy and kills a federal agent, McQuade teams up with a state trooper and an FBI agent to bring him down. Exploding trucks, rooftop brawls, high-speed chases, and jaw-dropping stunts fill his path. In one legendary moment, he’s buried alive in his Dodge Ramcharger—only to crack open a beer, pour it over his head, and burst free like nothing can stop him. Overflowing with outrageous action, campy heroics, and pure 80s style, this is the ultimate Chuck Norris movie: fun, ridiculous, and completely unstoppable.
