Are you kidding? One of the best movies of all time!

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2006)

This movie had everything - you loved the characters, the storyline was great and it had plenty of gore! C'mon, people, you CARED about the characters and you were terrified. I saw this with my family and I remember when Ben Gardner's head popped out from that hole in his hull I buried my head in my father's armpit and didn't come up for five minutes. This movie completely affected me and to this day I don't go wading in the ocean at the beach. The shark may have been a technological nightmare but I bought it - hook, line and sinker. Who isn't scared by crusty, old Quint and yet empathizes when he tells his Indianapolis story? You don't love Hooper and his nerdy, giggly comebacks? And Brody? He is every normal father in the 70's. This movie is a classic, warts and all, and still gives me warm fuzzies and the chills 25 years later. I just wish I could remember the line after Hooper lifts up Chrissie's arm in the autopsy room and says, "This is what happens. . .". bcz, for some odd reason they cut the scene after he says that and we don't get to hear the rest of the line. Still bothers me.
I live in Palm Beach close to the beach but I don't go swimming at the beach. Never have after this movie. AWESOME!
