A British tar is a soaring soul, as free as a mountain bird...

Jaws is a top 5 movie of all time.  Perfect filmmaking right there.

It's Raiders if you're feeling lazy

Jaws is a perfect film. 

 

I love raiders it's my #4 movie, but it has the worst outro (last 2 minutes) of all 3 orginal movies.

For a while now Jaws has been a film that I figured I should watch eventually just because of how big and influential it is, but at the same time it was pretty low down on my list of films to watch because from its description I didn't think it would be something that I'd really love. 

 

I saw it today because I wanted to vote in the final, and I was definitely very wrong. Jaws is incredible, much better than I could have ever imagined liking a shark movie. The climax in particular was so well made that I have to give my vote to this over Raiders, which I like, but not as much as most.
