Plastic fantastic

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2011)

Who would of thought a 7ft plastic shark could of sent the planet on red alert whenever considering a dip in the ocean.
Well that's what Jaws managed to achieve back in the mid 70's and no film has ever equalled that kind of fear factor.
With so many memorable scenes (one-eyed head in hole, you're gonna need a bigger boat, drunken war stories and getting eaten) the film has everything.
Yeah it looks dated now and yeah it's not going to make you fearful of the ocean anymore but everyone will agree when I say that film still lingers in my mind the first time I saw it 36yrs ago!!
I would just like to know how my folks managed to smuggle me into an x rated film back then!? (They said they couldn't find a babysitter...)
