What is the name of the movie where Burt Reynolds is floating in the ocean?

Answer 1

There may be others, but the one that comes to my mind is "The End," in which Burt's character tries many different ways to kill himself. The final attempt involves drowning himself in the ocean. After swimming out, however, he changes his mind in a lengthy scene, and returns to the shore, where Dom DeLuise (whom he met during his brief stay in an asylum where he was committed for attempting suicide) chases him with a knife.
