RE: Last film you watched
Jaws (1975)
Sky Movies are currently showing an almost infinite supply of real classics. I'm really enjoying revisiting these screen gems. I got tired of so many remakes, reboots, rehashes and any other kind of re-shits that you can think of that it gets to the point where you say - f**k it, give me real cinema.
I love this - has always been in my top five movies. It's a simple enough premise but it's the suspense, the tension and the impeccable storytelling from both director and cast, not to mention one of the most recognisable theme tunes in screen history, that deliver a genuine piece of cinema gold.
Police chief Roy Scheider, oceanographer Richard Dreyfuss and awe-inspiring sea captain Robert Shaw are tasked with defeating a killer shark that's terrorizing an island community. After a long time of not seeing it you forget how many genuine "jump-scare" moments this movie contains. It really works because the production crew work hard with the technology of the time to make a powerful, nerve wracking and satisfying thriller without much of the bangs, crashes and cheesy puns of modern cinema offerings.
I can just sit back and enjoy this rustic masterpiece every time. 8/10
