That's brilliant too. So sad how the actor playing the teacher died. He died of abestos poisoning as he used to work with his father on roofs before he got into acting.

When I was in Romania, they had Short Circuit on one of their movie channels, then after that it was The Breakfast Club..... Then when I got back from sightseeing and put the TV back on the same channel, it was Shawn of the Dead, another classic.

Best ever for me

Yeah, hard to disagree, it really is absolutely superb. The script, the pace (a mix of the frenetic, the eerily-slow), the pathos, the bathos, the achingly-funny. Shaw makes the film but he’s ably abetted by all and sundry. “Farewell and adieu....”
Think that’s my favourite single line but the monologue about the USS Indianapolis is just the fucking nuts. “Doll’s eyes....”

Robert Shaw was brilliant in that film.

Even if he was pissed during most of the filming!

For me, the best film ever made. When I first watched it in the cinema there was an interval and it’s the only time I’ve ever heard a cinema audience burst into spontaneous applause.

I reckon I’ve watched it at least 40 times and I can happily watch it again and again. It’s perfect.

Do you recall where the interval was in the film? I’d be interested to know, but googling ‘Jaws… Interval’ just brings up a ton of hits about the famous music motif, as it happens to be a perfect of example the musical interval.

Radical guess here, but I'd imagine it would be at what would be a natural break halfway through the film. Maybe when Quint is in the harbour preparing to go out with Hooper and Brody?

I honestly can’t remember. The film is sort of in Acts though so I wonder if it’s before they set out to sea?

That would more likely be the opening scene of act 2.
