I never tire of it. Intense, funny, and well acted. Procrastinators fool themselves into thinking they succeed merely by not failing.

Jaws is a film that is all moments, one after the other: The first attack "This was no boating accident" Ben Gardner's boat The Kintner boy "Foreground my ass!"

There's literally no flaws I can discern in any part of it. Some may bitch about the lackluster quality of old Bruce, but that's a moot point given the time it was made. To me, it defines what cinema is. ...
