A classic that still remains creepy to this day

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2008)

I was probably around 8 or 9 when I saw Jaws, which would have being perhaps 2002/2003. Of course, I both enjoyed it and was creeped out by it. Spielberg has used excellent techniques in filming and writing. The three main actors are really good, the highlight probably being Robert Shaw for his portrayal of Quint, the grizzly, shark hunting war veteran who is able to persuade us and hook us (excuse my pun-after all, he is a fisherman!), and I especially enjoyed his U.S.S Indianapolis monologue. Roy Schneider and Richard Dreyfuss, along with Lorraine Gary and Murray Hamilton, also captivate the viewers. Scenes such as the attack on Chrissie Watkins or the scene in which the head pops out of the ruined boat are amongst the scary and thrilling scenes Jaws has to offer, and lines such as "I think we need a bigger boat" ave gone down as iconic lines in film history, along with such quotes as "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" or "Here's Johnny! I sincerely hope rumors about a remake are false. Such an idea would ruin Jaws timeless legacy, as it's dismal sequels Jaws 3-D or Jaws the revenge did (Jaws 2 wasn't so bad) So if there are any filmmakers considering to redo Jaws that stumble upon this comment, please, for the sake of this film, don't!
