There are a lot of misses on '70s movies if that's your #1. Ranking Smokey ahead of Slapshot and Blazing Saddles is criminal; both of those are much funnier than Smokey. Star Wars, Jaws (at the time), and The Godfather I and II are all much better films, and it's not really close.

[Brunell4MVP]

Smokey is great. I laugh harder at the 1981 quasi-sequel, Cannonball Run. That's a funny movie brochamigo.

You can certainly make a reasonable argument that Smokey and the Bandit is better than Bananas. However I would not suggest that your argument be based on the personal lives of the actors involved.

The Godfather is a better movie than Smoky and the Bandit.

Smokey and the Bandit is a better 1970s movie than The Godfather.

Not only is Smokey and the Bandit better than The Godfather, but Smokey and the Bandit 2 is better than The Godfather 2. They all are unfortunately much better than Cannonball run 2, which also unfortunately, is available for streaming.

Watched this a few weeks ago and it's still a good flick. Gleason makes the movie and Sally is looking good. I want to rewatch Hooper.

I know someone that bought THE car and garaged it. Sold it a few years ago for a new Camaro/Trans AM conversion and cash. His original had < 150 miles on it.
