Today Was The First Time I Truly Seen Jaws

Very true. Fuck him.
80s was the start of the soft era or whatever.....he can suck it
Dunkirk can die in a fire. I gave it 40 mins and quit

Sexless was the word he used if I remember right. Yeah 80s films are awesome, hes on crack.

Dunkirk is meh

I think 70s have the more masterpieces but 80s have the more greater films.
90s arguably has both
 
My favorite trivia that led me down a rabbit hole is that Spielberg got John Milnius to punch up the Indianapolis speech. he wrote everything once they are in the water.

He also wrote all the Dirty Harry's, co-wrote the screenplay for Apocalypse Now, wrote and directed Conan(little of Stones work was used) Red Dawn and Connery asked for him to help with The Hunt for Red October. co-created HBO's Rome too.


The Coen brothers also used him as inspiration for some character in one of their movies...

There are very few "perfect movies." Jaws is one of them. Seen it 100+ times, but never seen it in the theater, but I'm going to this week... can't wait.

I define a "perfect" movie as a film that I wouldn't risk changing ANYTHING about in fear of ruining it.

Other "perfect" movies:

Back to the Future
Ghostbusters (1984)
Godfather 2
Goodfellas
Empire Strikes Back
Pulp Fiction
Blade Runner
Alien
 
Might go catch it this weekend. Jaws is number 2 in my shark movies behind a prime Deep Blue Sea.

WTF is the point of projecting a film shot in grainy 35mm film in IMAX?
 
Just finished watching in 3D

Only 3 people in the theater (^5) and the jump scare still got me. I even knew it was coming but it still got me.

9/10 movie easily. Its one of the best.
 
Going to see it tonight for the first time. Hoping it lives up to the hype.
 
Once humans learned the train isn't actually going to come out of the screen and run you over it is no longer considered scary. That is the problem we need to fix ergo drop sharks on the audience during suspensful scenes but only sometimes at random intervals. Keeps them guessing.

The 4k remastering and rescanning of the original 35mm negative of this film is fucking amazing and one of the 4ks best ever.

I have this movie on 4k blu-ray and it is beautifully sharp, clear, with rich natural colors.
I showed it to a friend of mine who was watching it for the first time and she couldn’t believe it was a 1975 movie.

Man cmon... Every time I hope for this, its just a tad better.


Like a remaster of a game. Always a waste.

Not sure what you mean, go look up the Jaws 4k reviews. It looks as good as it ever looked, compare that to the god awful Terminator 4k.
It's not a waste, if they hadn't taken up the massive effort to restore the badly deteriorated original negative you wouldn't be able to see such a high quality image in ultra high resolution.



The Metal Gear solid remaster for gamecube and Resident Evil 4 for wii were awesome.
Playing super nintendo games in 1080p on analogue Super NT is awesome.
