The Movie I've Seen ** Times

Posted : 6 days, 3 hours ago at Jun 28 15:37
I've seen this movie more times than any other. I stopped counting years ago when I had seen it over 50 times. I can remember going to see it in the theater when it first came out. My mom had to call my dad to come and get my brother :-) The theater was so packed us kids were sitting on the floor in front of the first row. This movie made people not only think twice about going into the ocean....it made people think twice about going into any water no matter how vast or deep or not. The shark is so much the star but Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss played the roles of their lives. Their performances were the success of the film I believe, along with that scary theme music. Your heart couldn't help but beat faster when the lead up music to the shark making an appearance started. I rate t...Read more

We are going to need a bigger boat!

Today Great White Sharks are on the endangered species list. We now know that even the humble toaster in your kitchen is far more dangerous to mankind than these wondrous creatures, which have changed so little since prehistoric times. But in 1975 the world was a different place and for anyone watching this movie the sea quickly became a fearful place with sharks the hidden killer of the deep. ‘Jaws’ tells the story of the Island town of Amity and its cheerful inhabitants, most of which rely heavily on the seasonal tourist trade and are hesitant to acknowledge anything that may tarnish the islands idyllic reputation. When a body is washed ashore, its down to Police Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) to do his duty to serve and protect, even if he does hate the water! What makes this ...Read more

One of the great grand-daddies of the modern summer blockbuster, and proof that Spielberg was on to something by not showcasing everything but building suspense throughout a film. He might have stolen that suspense building from Hitchcock, but if the formula works, just go with it. While Roy Schneider and Richard Dreyfuss deliver fine performances, it's Robert Shaw as the old shark hunter with sea water for blood that makes the film memorable. The three of them flesh out real people and keep us invested in their struggles. But Shaw stands out the most. Shaw's performance feels lived in, honest, and, above all, believable in the way that crusty old fisherman can be. He keeps the film from becoming mindless popcorn scares and makes it exciting and interesting. John Williams' score, the shark...Read more
