Jaws!

Started by A.D. Skinner2 pages

Okay...in my humble opinion...

I think that Jaws is an awesome movie...does it make it on my top 5 list ? Probably not...possibly in my top 10...but I haven't really sat down and created one.

I think the casting for the movie was precise. I think that Robert Shaw was a awesome Quint ( as well as liking him in The Sting, but this thread isn't about that, is it ? ). Richard Dreyfuss was great as Hooper...I couldn't imagine anyone else playing that character, and I don't think he should have died. Roy Scheider played Brody quite well...though there are moments during the film where he seems a little drawn out and boring.

As for the plot...seeing as this movie came out when I was very young...it scared every kid in the world to go into the water. Just the possibility was overwhelming. I loved the story of the Indianapolis as Quint told it...his accent really made the story that much more intense. And then the following sequence where Quint, Hooper and Brody begin to show their battle scars...( With Hooper winning from having a broken heart ! )

The movie provides us movie lovers with a lot of quotable lines...which one of my favorites is from Quint.

"I know a taxidermy man back home. He gonna have a heart attack when he see what I brung him"

"Whale noises"

Shall we start the whole movie speeches from the beginning all the way to the end.

I couldnt think of a better idea! You go first.

In Jaws 4 Michael Caine emerges from the water onto the boat and the next camera shot of him has him in completely dry clothing.

Right I'll start then since i had to watch it to get it fresh in my mind.

There's not much talk at the beach party so i'll start while they are running to the sea.

'What was your name again'

Tom Noonan & Terri Garber

Did everyone know that Tom Noonan and Terri Garber had a hot affair during the making of "North and South 3" and that she tried to get him to leave his wife? She has also had a 20 year affair with Tony Roberts.

Dun nun Dun nun Dun nun nun nun nun nun

First jaws is a classic. One of the best movies ever. I love the scenes between Quint and Hooper.

Second one is ok.

Third and four are garbage.

Jaws was one of the greatest horror flicks ever

I loved 1 and 2 ... 3 was so fake... and 4 just made not sence at all !!!
