I recently re-watched the 1958 Dunkirk (John Mills) film.

This line appealed to me...


"I've never kicked a man lying down before, but this may be the moment to start - now get to your feet, we're movin'!"

one making of well worth the watch is the Jaws making of documentary.

they worked and worked and worked on quints' speech and don't mention the shark!

it shows how they got the real shark footage and a couple of deleted scenes - a brilliant hilarious scene where quint goes to buy his piano wire and teases a young lad learning violin.


two of my fave lines are

"wanna get drunk and fool around....?"

"Quint?". "No".

brilliant film - one of those where you simply HAVE to watch it until the end

Good one that. Not "we're" gonna need a bigger boat; but "you're" gonna need a bigger boat. Brodie's no fool.
I know this is breaking the rules because it's a scene not a phrase but Robert Shaw's speech blows me away everytime...

Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into her side, Chief. We was comin’ back from the island of Tinian to Leyte. We’d just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes.

Didn’t see the first shark for about a half-hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the shark come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that shark he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away.

Sometimes that shark looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a shark is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those sharks come in and… they rip you to pieces.

You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don’t know how many sharks there were, maybe a thousand. I do know how many men, they averaged six an hour. Thursday mornin’, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boson’s mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. He bobbed up, down in the water, he was like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he’d been bitten in half below the waist.

At noon on the fifth day, a Lockheed Ventura swung in low and he spotted us, a young pilot, lot younger than Mr. Hooper here, anyway he spotted us and a few hours later a big ol’ fat PBY come down and started to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened. Waitin’ for my turn. I’ll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went into the water. 316 men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945.

Anyway, we delivered the bomb.”
Don't forget the shooting star flying past in the background during this speech.

Staying with Jaws,I watched it on tele when I was a kid in the early 80's, didn't get past the second attack before I went to bed. Scared to death, didn't sleep a wink obviously.

Hated the film as it was so scary for me as a 5/6 year old. I didn't watch it again till I was in my teens laugh

I love it now, one of my all time favourites, it's amazing.

Those lines from that speech will stay with me till the day I die. Such class.

Earlier someone accused me of being old, and I replied with another favourite film line. “It’s not the years, it’s the mileage.”

I was disappointed they didn’t recognise it from Raiders of the Lost Arc.
