if it's your last movie of the night, go with Jaws. If you plan on two, go Alien.

The Jigster has spoken :P

I plan on two, but it won't be Aliens, so I'm going Jaws then. :P

It's been overused and played to death, but that score in the movie is fucking fantastic.

I'm watching it on the 4k/bluray steelbook right now. I feel like I got it two years ago but yeah, it's hard to keep track of time anymore.

Robert Shaw playing a guy like Grant and then a guy like Quint is such a testament to his acting ability. Underrated.

Man. Jaws really is a fantastic movie. And I love this scene with Quint and Hooper chumming it up at night in the boat, comparing scars and telling stories. Adds a great deal of humanity to the movie.

I first saw Jaws some 30 years ago and I will never forget the horror and despair I felt for Quint when he gets annihilated by that shark.

It looks incredible and if your theater’s audio is up to par it’s just an all out sensory assault. Really really worth it

I can't find it in a theater near me. I'll have to dig around for more showtimes later in the month.
