Jaws (1975)
Summerization: If you don't know what Jaws is about, just stop reading now. You will have not a clue about any movie I mention anytime. Just click away right now. Okay. Jaws was originally a novel written by Peter Benchley that would have made for a hard-R film if Steven Spielberg didn't get his butter lovin hands on it and churning out one of the best PG-summer-popcorn-buddy flicks ever.
Why It's Awesome: Even though Spielberg took out most of the killing, all of the sex, most of the swearing and all of the nhilistic dispair, he made the movie fun. It's so much fun in fact, that when he makes the movie scary it's fucking scary. And even though it's PG, Speilberg snuck some really good bits and blood in there and even a kinda dark underwater shot of a naked girl. Not too bad.
It also happens to take place at the beach and around the 4th of July. Perfect summertime. Going to the beach during summer as a child always made me recall Jaws. Now it makes for an awesome feeling of nostalgia whenever Jaws is viewed in the summer. You can feel like a kid again, afarid of being eaten by sharks.
Best Time To Watch: July 1st-4th, anytime before going to the beach.
Quality: 5 outa 5 bloody chunks of Chrissie.
