I remeber still back when Alien was in the theater. I was child sitting with my hands over my face, had nightmares for months.

To this day I still have aquaphobia. Not sure if its from the JAWS movies but I can't even jetski in Folsom Lake without having thoughts of some huge shark fin surfacing along side me. At that point I get all squirrly, wipeout and have a panic attack swimming back to my ski...  not cool.

JAWS was on tonight on AMC, and I couldnt help but marvel at how wonderful a storyline it had.  Its not totally unrealistic, and I believe that helps make it an enjoyable movie to watch.

It is based on a true story about a great white shard that got lost in the gulf stream and ended up terrorising some costal towns in the New York area near the turn of the century. The shark even swam up a fresh water river and killed some people who were swimming like 15 miles away from the ocean.

I remember the JAWS theme going through my head everytime I jumped in the pool.  Ruined a few summers.:(


This summer though...I'm swimming in the deep end! :D

And without JAWS we would not have the opening scene for Airplane!  :D

IMO , Alien is the best Sci-Fi movie(s) ever made. Haven't seen part 4 yet. Part 2 is my favourite.I saw it first time when I was little and was scared sheetless.
