46. Son Mimics Father Scene
The most touching moment of the film.
47. Gave us ONE good sequel
Although no classic
Jaws 2 is an admirable follow up with most of the cast reprising their roles and three memorable moments: shark attacks helicopter; shark attacks water skier; shark gets pulverised by power line. It also had an equally excellant tagline "Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water!" Unfortunately two toothless sequels followed, cumulating with Ellen Brody failing to ape Ellen Ripley as a revenge-seeking heroine in 1987's Jaws: The Revenge
.
48. The Moby Dick Showdown
The aquatic denouncement with the Great White is just as tense the 100th time you watch it as it is the first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gw-qjuR8Kg
49. The Tension Between Quint and Hooper was for Real!
Actors Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss famously didn't get along and argued all the time, resulting in some great real tension between the characters.
50. And just for fun!
Gave us this hilariously edited clip of Brody and Quint bonding courtesy of YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISTmqjh1y-A So that's it. What did you think of my reasoning for Jaws as best film of all time? And was there anything I missed? Is there anything that doesn't make it a contender? (Apart from giving us Jaws III and The Revenge) Hardened shark fan or not I want your responses... And please if you enjoyed this article, vote for us in the Sky Movies Blog of the Year Awards,
