"The Last Producer" [2000] starring Burt Reynolds
Desperate to stay in the Hollywood game, an aging producer comes across a brilliant script that a younger executive has gotten, and will do whatever he can in order to obtain it.

"The Hollywood Sign" [2001]
Three actors whose careers are pretty much behind them (played by Tom Berenger, Rod Steiger, and Burt Reynolds) come up with a plan: they're going to pose as detectives
in an effort to steal $7 million from mobsters to finance their comeback.

"A Bunch of Amateurs" [2008] starring Burt Reynolds
A former Hollywood superstar whose career is pretty much near its end heads to Britain to play Shakespeare's King Lear, thinking that this will be a major opportunity;
instead, he discovers that his agent has lied to him and it's actually an amateur community production and the bells and whistles he was expecting simply aren't there.
Initially outraged, he gradually remembers why he became an actor in the first place.

"Not Another Not Another Movie" [2011] starring Burt Reynolds
Burt plays a filmmaker with a studio that's struggling to stay alive and is willing to do pretty much anything to get a hit.

"Dog Years" [2017] starring Burt Reynolds
Burt plays an aging movie star who forces an emotionally unstable girl (Modern Family's Ariel Winter) assigned to be his driver to take him on a tour of the landmarks of his youth.

Burt Reynolds's last film will be Quentin Tarantino’s "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" [2019]
starring Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio as a TV actor well past his glory and his stunt double.
