Production Hell - Jaws

I can't wait til they remake it with 3 brave fisherwomen whose husbands stay on shore to look after the kids

Can you imagine? “Alright Richard, go ahead and get in the water and the trained great white shark will pretend to attack”

This is proof positive that not every movie that had a hellish production turns out bad.

Character development triumphs over CGI

It was all worth it for that Robert Shaw monologue.

"Since no one else was available, Spielberg was brought on board." Damn, at one point, this guy was basically the last kid picked for kickball at recess.

Man vs society, man vs nature, man vs himself, all in one story. Masterpiece.

I've seen Jaws over 200 times. When it came out, my mom had an ice cream parlor next door to the movie theater, so after school I would go next door and see it because the manager there let me in for free. It stayed at the theater for at least a month, and probably longer. A few years later, we bought a laser disc player when they first released them in the test market of Atlanta, and Jaws was one of the initial few releases on laser disc. I literally have every line of dialogue in that movie memorized, much to the dismay of anyone finding themselves unlucky enough to watch it with me.

John Williams unforgettable score was the icing on the cake.

It always makes me smile to hear Drinker tell me go away with his voice NOT sounding disappointed or disgusted with the world. Always a brief ray of sunshine
