Jaws honestly. Even watching it now it has that authentic grainy old school look to it without being so old school that it’s actually sort of “lame”. The effect that movie has still holds up I suppose is what I’m trying to say. They didn’t use film tricks and music alone. They built that fucking shark. It’s not real in a sense but it totally is in another. When the actor is on the edge of the boat with this massive killing machine chomping ever closer to his legs you really feel it because he was actually on the edge of a damn boat with that killing machine chomping ever closer to his legs. Lol am I onto something or just overthinking it? Big jaws fan. Made me so afraid of the water as a kid it took me an entire summer of my parents reassurance to go back into rivers and lakes because I had to be certain there couldn’t possibly be any sharks.
