Smokey and the Bandit: OK - Jackie Gleason just fucking stole that movie
He is by far, the most entertaining character in the movie. More than Burt. More than Sally. More than Jerry.

2. Honeymooners never did anything for me
But Sting 2?

OK - it's a badly produced sequel. It's supposed to suck.

But he saves that movie single-handedly.

I agree.

5. If you haven't, watch "The Hustler" sometime.
With Paul Newman.

Jsckie Gleason was a very good actor.

4. I confess to having the complete Smokey and the Bandit:
DVD set. You're right JG did steal that movie. He pretty much had every funny line in the movies.
