Re: "Jaws"

This is one of my favorite films. The first film I ever saw, back in grade school. I remember when the cable salesman came to our house when I was in grade school trying to sell H.B.O. (that is all there was at that time), and he selling point was Jaws. I think I watched it five times that month. I still watch it whenever it is on cable. And I own the D.V.D.

The D.V.D. made me realize what an accomplishment Jaws was, not only technically, but also by Spielberg. How there were shots that he wanted to accomplish, but which were impossible, so he improvised, and accomplished his shot.

Jaws has become the template for so many thriller/horror films. The performances are outstanding. One of those desert island films (assuming your desert island has electricity, and is in either rfresh water, or in the artic).
