The Longest Yard (1974)

Burt Reynolds was at the top of his game in the mid-1970s. He made so many good movies. The Longest Yard is a really brutal film about prison violence. It is, however, a raucous comedy in the style of film Reynolds excelled at making. I absolutely enjoyed the hell out of this. Burt wears an incredible pair of pants in his first scene, and look out for Bernadette Peters in a small role as a horny secretary. The other true, brilliant highlight of The Longest Yard is the cheerleading squad during the big game, which consists of a total of nine beautiful prison queens who all take their wigs off at the end of the game. It's fabulous.
