"Jaws"

With the exception of "2001". I have owned more video incarnations of this than any other film. Although hard to locate, there is a DVD with a DTS 5.1 option which brings out that last iota of richness and detail from the score and sound track. The film makers wisely dropped the novel's Hooper/Mrs. Brody affair and concentrated on the action. Though riddled with continuity problems, the pacing and editing of "Jaws" still carries you right along, no matter how many times you have seen it. And Quint's soliliquy about the U.S.S. Indianapolis, which stops the film for a moment, is one of th4e finest pieces of acting in all of cinema. Novelist Peter Benchley has a bit part as a TV commentator. Murray Hamilton is wonderful as the mayor. Followed by three ever more dismal sequels.
