Of all the films made in the decade of the 1970s -- I wonder which film is most coveted and purchased on LD and DVD...plenty of monster movies in the 70s that tanked.Spielberg is one of the only directors that enters into every genre and comes out making big piles of money - most critics and people rave and then 30 years later they continue to eat it up. For what Jaws is it does it brilliantly. If you want a whiney self indulgent absolutely boring piece of excrutiating artsy artsy see I'm smarrt for liking it, crap look at 81/2.
George Romero in the horror genre was great at splatterring the screen for laughs and had quite the fanbase of gore lovers -- but that was hardly what his films were about.
Dawn of the Dead is not about Zombies for example and neither is his new film Land of the Dead from what I've read of the pre-release notes.
