Boogie Nights (1997)
Discussed as the surprising, serious center of the film who plays Jack Horner without winking.
About 72 minDeliverance (1972)
Praised as the breakout presence whose first 45 minutes make him a star, though the movie also physically strips him down and sidelines him.
About 0 minHeaven Can Wait (1978)
Cited as an alternative star who could have played the role, especially the football parts.
About 8 minThe Longest Yard (1974)
Praised as a uniquely convincing, charismatic, and athletic movie star who anchors the whole film.
About 8 minThe Player (1992)
His long story scene is singled out as a great example of Altman’s framing and Reynolds’ comic timing.

Mentioned as a rumored turn-down for Jack Cates and as a possible tonal mismatch.
About 16 minOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)
