When we first got cable in the early 80s (back then they had to lay the cable for it to reach your house), Cannonball Run was shown constantly.
Its terrible but in a good way. Not sure it holds up.
Deliverance in my opinion is his best film, and very underappreciated. I avoided watching the uncut version for years because of the rape scene. But its definitely worth watching. His character is someone who does things on his own terms. A recent film, The Revenant, got a lot of acclaim, but its really a ripoff of Deliverance but not as good.
Not sure how well known this is but Burt played RB at FSU. He was a promising athlete but blew out his knee after his first year or so. His roommate was a third string QB, Lee Corso. Burt did a lot of things at FSU anonymously, like gifts to certain organizations including the football team for new uniforms. (He did this in the late 80s, around the time of the old Punt Rooskie, even though having an alternate uniform is all the rage these days).
