Favorite movie OF ALL TIME!

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2007)

I saw Jaws in the theater with my father when I was 7. The Theater had two theaters, Jaws was showing in one and 101 Dalmations( I'm pretty sure, I know it was a Disney movie )was showing in the other. Of course we originally went there to see the Disney, but my dad being "my dad" we ended up in the Jaws theater! From the first scene I was captivated. I was so small and the screen was so big, which of course made the ocean scenes seem so overwhelming. I think I was more in my dad's seat than my dad was. I told him," Now dad, tell me when the shark is going to show up." He'd already seen it. Dad says," Just listen for the scary music and you'll know the shark is coming." Okay. That worked for a while UNTIL Ben's head rolled into the hole opening in his submerged boat! Then there was when Sheriff Brody was chumming and JAWS pops up out of the water. I think I jumped 3 ft out of my seat. Oh, it was on then! I spent the rest of the movie peeking through my fingers which were covering my eyes! I love this movie partly because it was a memory myself and my dad shared until he died, and partly because it was the first of it's kind, and the LAST (only) good shark movie. Sharks are a real threat and Jaws is the one and only good portrayal of this FEAR. Surrounded by water and the villain is somewhere beneath you, yet you can't possibly know where until he surfaces and attacks. I can't imagine anyone not seeing this movie.
