Just watched jaws 4K with my brother in law, it was his first time seeing it. He loved it and was blown away a movie from 1975 could be so well made. He said “you’re the only person I know who likes old movies” 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

That's funny but also sad at the same time. Like I don't think of Jaws as being an old film. Then again I just turned 50 and of course my kids think I'm old. 😂

First saw jaws when I was 13. I’m 57 now. Still my favourite film. Know it word for word. Still thrills me like the very first time I saw it. Awesome.

I was born on Martha's Vineyard. I was there on Jaws 2. My father worked at the airport there in 1952- met James Cagney who lived there. Jaws is one of my favorites. I always watch it on my birthday. Happy viewing Jeff !

Jaws is one of my personal favorite films of all time.

One of the greatest opening scenes ever, I usually don’t get scared of much in movies but that scene creeps in my nightmares

Love this movie was my first love of movies jaws will always be my go to movie was my first 4k in my collection

I first saw this at the cinema, I know it word for word but it always gets a re-watch at least twice a year

Great Podcast! And ditto on Jaws!!

It is certainly one of the best films of all time. My personal favourite aspect is the showcase of Spielberg's masterful dialogue direction, utterly flawless sound design.

Hi Jeff. Congratulations on your new podcast. Jaws is my favorite movie of all time as well.

The opening scene to Jaws is the best of any film ever made.

Really like your new podcast. Much better than other channels droning on about technical specs. In the end it’s the movie content that matters. Looking forward to seeing you & Elliot Coen collaborate. I enjoy his channel.

Really enjoyed this Jeff, looking forward to the next one! Jaws is one of my all time favorites too.

I absolutely loved this! Thank you, Jeff, for the insight into Jaws. I can't wait to hear the next episode!

Love the new pod idea Jeff!!

Very good podcast. I would have liked to hear an audio commentary like this on the film. Can't wait to hear the one about Vertigo, which is also one of my favorite films.

Oh man, Oh man, oh man it's tiiiiiiiiiime! Jaws is also the greatest movie of all time! Here for it!

Loved it Jeff. Listening to this was like what I do for my favorite movies like The Searchers or the Wild Bunch or the original Planet of the Apes. I love just hearing passion about movies. I can’t wait for the next one!

1 year out of HS Jaws came out. My friends and I went to Jones Beach every weekend. The psychological effect this movie had was evident no one myself included would not go into the water ! Lol. My mom had the novel so after watching the movie I started to read the book I was so enthralled I read the book straight thru 9 hours.

Absolutely loved this! Found you on Instagram and always look forward to your lists and recommendations! This new podcast is definitely my jam and Jaws is also one of my favourite movies!

Great content and hearing opinions from the heart with a love of a certain film... I'm like this with Green Mile, Predator, Jaws, Bladerunner, Se7en an absolute love for those films as pieces of genius. My fave scene in Jaws, weirdly... it's a very "normal" scene.. the one where Drefuss is talking to the sailors outside when they catch the first shark... and the timing of him and Schneider of the conversations just is SO NATURAL... infact the conversations in Jaws are the most natural ever tbh... I really do think they feel like these conversations happened! Jaws is absolute genius of which could NOT or would be made the same now!!! I even think the shark looks fantastic which I must be in a minority! It's deffo two films... as soon as we get the boat going out through the shark jawbone in the hut... that's the 2nd half of the film and I always get a brew at this point. One more thing, it's one of those films that you can watch and watch and if it comes on the TV you don't turn it off, other film that this is applicable for is Forrest Gump or Predator lol... Jaqws though I reckon I've watched 35+ times in my life and I'm about to turn 50!

Your love of Jaws is similar to mine. Although I’m a lot older than you ( I’m 54 ) I’m a Massachusetts native who spent many summers on the Cape for my family vacation. I saw Jaws for the first time in either 78 or 79 when it was re released in theaters I was 8 or 9 years old. It is without a doubt my favorite film of all time. Like you part of that is nostalgia but it’s also Cape cod related . Although perhaps at 8 or 9 I didn’t realize it but beaches in the northeast or New England were not really featured in films much whenever beaches appeared in film it was usually California palm trees or tropical beaches etc but to see the kind of beaches that I was familiar with was refreshing. I could go on and on but yeah there are many similarities between your experiences of the film and mine . It’s the best .

Greatest movie of all time. Let's hope for a special release for the upcoming 50th anniversary

In 100 years we will still be watching and loving JAWS. Its classic, timeless, and a total cinematic icon. Scariest part of the film doesn't even have a shark in the scene - its Quint just explaining the USS Indianapolis sinking. Still get chills.

I just saw jaws for the first time last year! I could never see it as a kid. Then i just didnt think much of it. Then i found your channel and had to see it. It was incredible. I can see why its so iconic. I like to think that without jaws we would never have sharknados! Lol

Hi Jeff, great review of Jaws, it is an amazing film, one of my favourites, really like the new format you are doing, keep them coming, will be looking forward to more reviews. Keep the great work coming.

Michael chapman was the camera operator on Jaws , he became the DP on taxi Driver and Raging Bull amongst others .

Jaws is such a great film that you even don't realize or forgive its plot questions. They're not holes, just things that make you go hmm. Like why do they go out into the open ocean to chase the shark. I think that was a practical filming reason and it was so that Spielberg wouldn't have to worry about keeping the coast in view.

On my top 5 list; North By Northwest, Jaws, Its A Wonderful Life, American Graffiti, and Carrie

💯 greatest movie of all time!

Super cool intro! Im excited for this new podcast.

The 4K is tremendous. A beautiful transfer to UHD.

Thank you very much for this video-podcast. Great format! It is unfair to select just one as 'the greatest'.... but it is your video and Jaws is undeniably one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time. Another interesting piece of trivia is that during the troubled production things got so much out of control that Spielberg considered quitting. Nonetheless, Dick Zanuck realized that Spielberg would be the only one who could finish the movie successfully so he did not pass the job to any other director and kept him in charge

Masterpiece

Awesome Jeff 😊

Great show Jeff.

Love "Jaws". I even got to see the Broadway play "The Shark is Broken" which was a very funny behind the scenes look at the main stars pretty much held hostage during filming.

Jaws is defiantly one of the greatest films ever made. It’s my second favorite film, after Star Wars, and is my favorite horror film. I’ve been able to see it in theaters a few times, most notable being when it was rereleased for Jaws’s 40th Anniversary. Thank you for talking about this film Jeff, I hope you’re doing well. Have a great day and please take care!

Jaws fans may appreciate seeing master impressionist Mark Proksch performing select scenes from Jaws in the character of Quint, during the 40th anniversary celebration of Jaws II a few years ago, on KZread.

I was only 6 years old when it first came out to theaters and drive thrus, I had to wait til 1979 to see it on antenna Television, it was great, me and all my classmates couldn’t stop talking about it

BTW amazing Podcast I definetely subbed

I can't really pick one favorite movie but I've a top 10 in no real order and Jaws is on my list. I love that movie and I watch it like 2-4 times every year.

Jeff. Love the opening. 👍. Jaws for me was And will be The best movie ever made. I was 10 years old when I went to see this had to go with my older brother. Waiting to get in . I was terrified and thrilled at the same time.😂 it will always be my favorite of all time. I watch it every year on that date June 20th hopefully I would like to go Martha’s Vineyard to see all the filming locations one day. Every year now that I watch this it’s gets better and better. That feeling that I had watching this and what it meant to me will never go away. Great video 🦈🦈

Looking forward to this new podcast! Loved the intro, by the way! If you ever need a guest for a Back To The Future episode, I'm your man 🙂

I just bought Jaws 4K last week, largely because of your channel. Early, super early in my 4K collection, but looking to expand the classics within it. Got Jaws, The Fugitive, and 2001: A Space Odyssey

The first two vacations I took my family on were: New England/Maine Coast in 2013 and South Dakota/Wyoming Devils Tower in 2014. A few years later, I realized that I did this wholey because of my love for two of the greatest movies ever made from my childhood: Jaws and Close Encounters. PS: The John Williams Jaws soundtrack on CD is fantastic.

Got automatically subscribed 👍Best, D.

Nice one Jeff, that was a good listen. There is, of course, one version of the film you don't have: The 3D conversion from a couple of years back. Obviously, it's not had a home release, unfortunately: It was a very well done conversion, not as great as the Jurassic Park 3D conversion, but I'd love to own a copy.

Thanks

Bill Butler actually was 101 years old when he died, so he definitely wasn't young. Also, he never worked on The Godfather (that was photographed by Gordon Willis), but he did photograph The Conversation. Lastly, he never did win an Oscar; he was nominated with Cuckoo's Nest original cinematographer Haskell Wexler on that film, but they didn't win; John Alcott won the 1975 cinematography Oscar for Barry Lyndon.

It's funny to think that next year, 2025, is the 50th anniversary of 'Jaws', so it would be great if Universal Studios had the foresight to rerelease 'Jaws' in movie theatres next year in the summer and I wouldn't be surprised if it became a cash cow once again as a chance for moviegoers to experience the movie properly on the big screen or perhaps even on IMAX screens.

Interestingly the way Jaws was shot reminds me of the way Ridley Scott directed Alien....The way the directors play with your imagination to get the best movie ever is quite incredible....with regards Alien, a bit like Jaws how often do you actually see the full Alien in the entire movie?....When you see Jaws and Alien the similar psychological thriller/horror Spielberg/Scott were indeed iconic.

I love 'Jaws' and it's definitely one of my top horror movies of all time and even though I own it on VHS and Blu-ray as well as John Williams' iconic soundtrack on LP and CD, if Universal Studios released it every summer in theatres for a limited time run, I'd be there in a heartbeat every time. :)

@@Earthtime3978, nah, I'm tired of the format wars with endless incremental upgrades. The Blu-ray is good enough for me. Although, I did buy the 4K of John Carpenter's 'The Thing' which I didn't need since I already had the Blu-ray, so who knows? I may get 'Jaws' on 4K eventually when the price is right. :)

It's Such an amazing masterpiece of a Film, and its almost 50 Years! One of my All-Time favorite movies. We're going to need a Bigger Party to celebrate! 😃🥳⛵🦈

Cinematographer Bill Butler didn't die young! He died last year in 2023 at age 101!

Jaws is my fave movie aswell

The cinematographer who worked with Spielberg on the Indiana Jones trilogy, Douglas Slocombe, died at 103. He probably could have lived another year or two, but he fell, and he died from complications of it.

We're gonna need a bigger boat jeff

Original movie Jaws

I just watched Jaws 4k last night and I enjoyed it though the shark was unrealistic but I really enjoyed it

I've been watching your vids the last couple years. I still think the blu-ray of Jaws looks better than the 4k disc, I've "A, B'd" them on my Sony tv. The colors pop more on the blu-ray, it isn't so muted. I know people may disagree with me and that's fine. My TV naturally upscales the blu-ray like most tvs do. I want to like the 4k disc better but I don't. It's still great though.

Great shark I mean start!

I actually was at a convention 1 year and picked up Tape that contained the original 1980 broadcast of jaws, which had the extra footage included in it. I have since transferred it to d. VD, however, the quality is awful. I really wish universal would do a special edition with the footage included. It is neat seeing it. In the film, as opposed on special features Clips

I watch Jaws probably 3x year.

Disco Vision laserdisc?! 😮😅🤣😆

After so many ppl saying i should own this, i have it on pre order from the Vault, coming june/july but the box in this release is smaller.

First jumpscare of my life

I'd absolutely loove to see you collab with another great film youtube creator @DanMurrellMovies. It would probably make the most sense for the pod. His fav film is also Jaws, reminds me of you quite a bit. Anyway, maybe you guys could talk robocop/a movie's box office or something.

Yes. End of podcast

not a lot of good movie podcasts, i feel like this one will be somethin special

Ive got some vintage jaws magazines for sale. It breaks my heartbut they have to go.this was the first film that i got lost in. When the lights came up i was suprised i was sitting in a cinema thinking what the hell just happened.

Bill Butler was 101 years old when he died in 2023.

Have you seen or played the new JAWS Stern pinball machine ❤

Was thinking for a lot of these ppl ur mentioning have a pic pop up or something

Deep blue sea 🎉 😂

Can you get Duel 1971 4k dvd please

Jeff speaking of movies what do you think of movies now?

Cool intro 😁 Question of taste because for me, all Jaws movies aren't worth a second watch. Still, your podcast is very interesting!

The greatest movie of all time? For me anyway it's easy.......The Graduate. But yea, Jaws right up there too. Thanks, enjoyed.

The video is great. I like someone talking pationatly about something they love. I say Jurassic Park is to me as Jaws is to you

My Jaws 4k played perfect, but now freezes at about the 31 minute mark. Anybody else have the same problem?

Jaws is a great movie but time revealed how cinematically flawed it was.

I know I probably sound silly but what kind of budget to you or anyone in the chat give yourself??

there is no other shark movie.

LOL no

I personally always found JAWS a bit boring, even as a kid, too much yapping too little shark, that is why I LOVE movies like Deep Blue Sea (best shark movie ever) and the MEG (the first one), but I get it people love Jaws for some odd reason that I will never understand.

Ok, your favorite movie, but I wouldn’t call it the greatest movie of all time? Only watched it once when it came out and never rewatched it ever since.

Its a fine film but definitely not the best ever. Gone with the wind, fellowship of the ring, godfather are the best ones.
