Despite that it gets labelled at the beginning of the summer "blockbuster" movie which has evidently lead to an avalanche of shitty movies since it's inception, I wish most could even slightly approach the quality of this movie. I forgot how damn enjoyable it is. Robert Shaw is a fucking god in this movie.

i love that this book was written as he was a speechwriter for Nixon. who never wrote speeches. If I compared the time i spent here dicking around at work to that i bet i'd have 2 books by now.

Jaws is definately one of my Top Five Movies Ever.

I still have to look away before the head pops out the boat though...

great movie, Ironically made better by the lack of special f/x technology. they had to limit the amount of screentime because they couldn't get the shark to look real enough. That meant they had to play up the suspense angle.

I'll put the "USS Indianapolis" scene as one of the top 5 best all time, and it is a good starting point for my theory that Spielberg movies are good when the action stops, kinda meh when it starts.

(I prefer the scenes between the fighting to any of the massive war scenes in Captain Save A Hoe..feel free to extrapolate on this theory)

Blood thirsty animal. And next to Vic Hislop, a shark.

Vic Hislop is the 'real-life' Quint. He's also a complete mental case. He was locked up in an madhouse for a while for trying to torch the Australian governments shark attack files while raving about a 'shark conspiracy'.
