"We're gonna need a bigger boat".....

One of the most , correction.. pretty much THE most well made films i have ever seen, with an amazing attention to detail and creatvity in scene shots. I have to hand it to the production team for their role in planning the sequences.

It tells the story of three men, hunting a great white that terrorizes the swimmers and people of a quiet beach town in New England and of the tourists coming to celebrate 4th of July.

Some of my favorite were
1. "We're gonna need a bigger boat"
2. "farewell and adieu to you fair spanish ladies.."
3. "Hooper, stop playing with yourself"!
4. Scene, when the Chief is shovelling the meat into the water and when he turns to look and talk to Quint, the Shark emerges from the water.
5. The reflections of the ocean water against the glass of the captain's cabin
6. The shot of the feet of the three people when they cross the boat along the sides.
7. Quint's monologue on the USS Indianapolis.
8. "Smile you sonuvab***h"!

But the best part was the award winning score by John Williams, becoming a part of pop culture in reference to any shark or animal stealth attack.

I cannot think of any person who has not seen it and very few who do not own it in their collection.

This is termed as a "classic" , no uneccessary adjectives or anything, just a classic

A Classic Addition to my Collection

The "Original Summer Blockbuster" should be part of everyone's movie inventory. How many times have I seen it? I have no idea, but I'll watch it again and again!

The DVD arrived in a very timely manner and was in excellent condition, as advertised.

I would not hesitate in the least to do business with this excellent Amazon vendor.

Still Scary After All These Years

When this movie came out, it scared the daylights out of the masses. Great White sharks got a bad name and they became the hunted. Thirty years later and some real shark attacks later, this movie is not only still scary and entertaining, it is not far off the mark on how different facets of people really do react.

A favorite at my house.

Jaws is not really a favorite of mine, I first saw it on a date that didn't go all that well, and I was too angry too get the jump factor that the rest of the audience did. However, my family will all watch Jaws over and over at least once a year, so go figure.

My cool anecdote about Jaws is from a couple of weeks after it came out, I was skin diving near Newport Beach, and as we swam out from shore, the sea weed was swaying in the water, my friend and I both looked at each other at the same time and through our snorkels, we sang "Doo, doo, doo-doo" That day they caught a baby Great White between where we were and Catalina Island, the next day a world record Great White off of Catalina. It did keep us out of the water the rest of the week!

So here's the deal, this is a scary movie, but don't look too close at the special effects, as they are pretty cheesy by today's standards, and on a side note, Myth Busters tried to re- create the Blow Up scene... Myth busted!
