Jaws is so watcheable / most rewatchable movies

Yeah good example of te superiority of practical fx, nowadays itd be a CGI shark and it wouldnt look real, even now in 2020 they would struggle to match the realness of that shot using cgi
It really has such a scale to it compared to a CGI shot. You see Brody and Quint on the boat when it lands on it and you really get blown away at the size of the shark compared to them and then you buy the weight of it being enough to crack the stern
 
epic production, a true shocker
jaws 2 was ok too, but is nowhere near the original
 
My list:
Pulp fiction- must have watched at least 2 million times
Die Hard
Karate Kid 3
The Matrix
Heartbreak Ridge

Yeah and if it was CGI the interaction between the water and the CGI shark would be all fake looking. They would have to shoot it completely differently, using more close shots and editing, and it would suck the life right out of it.
 
Any Arnold movie in the 80's early 90's
 
The movies most rewatchable to me are
Star Wars OT
An American Werewolf in London
Tombstone
Enter The Dragon
Casablanca
The Incredibles
Raiders of the Ark
The Ten Commandments
Sneakers
Goodfellas
