What is supposed to be a list of "12 Unforced Errors," is actually way more, since each item may contain a multitude of bad decisions. Each of them probably had their reasons at the time, but were profoundly regretted by someone after the fact. Burt Reynolds was an engaging comedic actor in the 1970s and '80s, with a lot of hit movies, but he could have been so much more. After his breakthrough role in Deliverance, he was offered the biggest roles in Hollywood. These included James Bond, R.P. in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Michael Corleone in The Godfather, and Han Solo in Star Wars. But he turned all those down. Bad decisions also involved studios that turned down movie projects that became classics for the thinnest of reasons, or no reason at all. Imagine greenlighting Howard the Duck after you passed on E.T.: The Extraterrestrial. Too much punctuation in the title?
