Yes, just watch jaws 2, 3 or my god 4.
No thanks. Michael Caine must've have had a few bills to pay when he got involved with the Revenge Edited by Smollet on Tuesday 24th March 13:38

Jaws is a bit like Alien, where the actual monster is not seen until a long way into the film.
Love both of these.
I remember watching an interview where Spielberg said basically they didn't have the budget for a decent model shark, so they had to rely on the implied danger of the shark a lot more than planned, which of course is what made it such a good movie. Love both of these.
Perhaps if they were asked to make a film together, banned from using cgi and given $50m they might just make the greatest film of all time.

On Jaws The Revenge “I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific

Jaws isn't a film about a Great White Shark, it's a film about 3 completely different men thrown together on a small boat. Scratch beneath the surface and Jaws delivers on so many more levels. As mentioned earlier, the film achieved greatness by accident. Had Bruce done what it was intended to do and actually worked earlier on in the filming, the whole first act would have completely lost any resonance. The attacks at the start of the film and on the beach worked so well because you didn't see/only glimpsed the terror under the surface. The same applies with Ben Gardeners boat - before Hooper investigates is loaded full of suspense - the lights on the boat seemingly offering security, but in reality making everything beyond their reach even more foreboding; the bite mark on the boat, the John Williams score (which throughout the film is exceptional). Right down to SS's trademark shooting star, Jaws is one of the best films of all times. I've lost count of the number of times I have watched it - but every time I do I see something I haven't seen before.
Jaws 2 - Growing on me, as long as you accept it for what it is...... drive in, popcorn fodder.
3 and 4. I'm not going to even bother....

excellent point about the lights, it looks safe but utterly petrifying more than 3 ft from it.Jaws 2 - Growing on me, as long as you accept it for what it is...... drive in, popcorn fodder.

I noticed this for the first time a few days ago, as someone who suffers from aqua phobia its fking petrifying. you'd think hating water would mean I never watch it, but for me it makes it even more scary than it would for others.
