Smokey and the Bandit (1977)

This pure popcorn mega hit sees The Bandit (Burt Reynolds) speed from Georgia to Texas in his Trans Am.

The nihilist endings of the Bonnie & Clyde generation were over when Burt Reynolds broke the fourth wall with a smirk in the summer of 1977. Nothing too deep here, but as The Bandit speeds from Georgia to Texas in his Trans Am to the tune of Jerry Reed’s rollicking theme song, it’s a pure popcorn mega hit.
