No Hope November - Day 17 - "JAWS"

Other than The Little Mermaid, Lion King, and Free Willy, today's pick for No Hope November may be the movie I've seen more times than any other ever made. "Jaws". I read the novel by Peter Benchley way back in the 70's, and loved it. Then we got HBO when it first came
out and what they did then was to repeat movies over and over again for a month. I watched Jaws about 15 times in 2 weeks over summer vacation. It was so amazing. I have seen this movie countless times. The chemistry between Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider, and Robert Shaw was incredible. The suspense so unsettling. The musical score was perfect. Everyone knows the music that signifies there is a giant shark nearby.This movie made an entire generation of people leery of going into the water. It was so effective at what it attempted to do. Just a great movie. "You're gonna need a bigger boat."
