Any fans of this movie starring Burt Reynolds? I haven't seen it, but I know it's basically a popular sports comedy about inmates and guards playing against each other in a prison football game. It was later remade in 2005 with Adam Sandler.
Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:
The Longest Yard (1974) - 3.5 out of 4 stars
"Convict Reynolds, a former football pro, quarterbacks a squad of dirty players against warden Albert's hand-picked team. An audience picture if there ever was one; hilarious bone-crunching comedy written by Tracy Keenan Wynn. Remade in 2001 as MEAN MACHINE (the original film's British title) and in 2005."
