My most vivid theater memory

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 2001)

I can still recall sitting in the theater,10 years old.The screen is black.You then hear the rustling of water.Slowly,the music begins.It begins to quicken.It's coming to get us!This man eating machine they call "Jaws".I think in many ways,this film perhaps gave sharks a worse name than they really deserve,but this in no way keeps it from being a great film.This is indeed a thrill ride from beginning to end,with a laugh or two mixed in to give our hearts a rest.The late Robert Shaw is excellent as Quint,the cranky,seaworthy captain.Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss(one of my all time favorite actors) turn in great performances here,as well.Before going to the beach,give this film a look,and see if you don't change your mind.
