A-Z #105: Jaws

You can pick up hundreds of DVDs for a round-pound each - it doesn't matter. It's never about quantity, it's about quality. A-Z is my way of going through my collection, from A-Z, and understanding why I own the films ... or you can tell me why I should sell 'em


#105 - Jaws

Why did I buy it?

At the time I bought it way back in 2000, I could not remember the time I had watched it. I knew it was an important film, but I could not vividly recall the details of the film. By purchasing it, I could rewatch it and refresh my memory.

Why do I still own it?

Obviously, since I bought the film, I have watched it many times. I have even watched the film at my school with some of the kids during a Film Club. They enjoyed it, but not half as much as I expected. I have a feeling that the slow-tension that builds throughout the film was a little bit too slow for the kids. I only hope they appreciate the idea of the shark swimming underneath their feet when they are swimming about on their summer holidays. A must to own, and I have a feeling it is a must on Blu-Ray when it arrives ... the stunning

  1. A steal of a purchase at the $5 bin. It's amazing Spielberg didn't get nominated.

  3. You spent $5! Bargain! I appreciate the lack-of-nomination. Hardly a profound story - very much 'entertainment'. But, Dan, Im not aware of a blu ray release ... but when it happens ... I am there!
