Nobody's mentioned the fantastic Robert Shaw! Especially his telling of the USS Indianapolis story...
"... shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya..."

When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya..." my favorite. remember this song? Spanish Ladies Farewell and adieu to you, gay Spanish ladies, Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Spain, For we've received orders for to sail to old England; But we hope very soon we shall see you again. Chorus: We'll rant and we'll roar like true British sailors, We'll rant and we'll roar across the salt seas, Until we strike soundings in the channel of old England, From Ushant to Scilly is thirty-five leagues. Then we hove our ship to with the wind at sou'-west, my boys, We hove our ship to our soundings for to see; So we rounded and sounded, and got forty-five fathoms, We squared our mainyard, up channel steered we. Chorus Now the first land we made it is called the Deadman, Then Ram Head off Plymouth, Start, Portland, and Wight; We sailed by Beachy, by Fairlee and Dungeness, Until we came abreast of the South Foreland Light. Chorus Then the signal was made for the grand fleet for to anchor, All in the Downs that night for to meet; Then it's stand by your stoppers, let go your shank painters, Haul all your clew garnets, stick out tacks and sheets. Chorus Now let every man toss of a full bumper, And let every man toss off a full bowl; And we'll drink and be merry and drown melancholy, Singing, here's a good health to all true-hearted souls. Chorus

Q U O T E S F R O M
T H E M O V I E " J A W S " I N W H I C H " S H A R K " I S R E P L A C E D B Y " J I M M Y P A G E . " - - - - "Understand you're having a little Jimmy Page trouble." "Don't know what that bastard Jimmy Page's gonna do with it. Might eat it I suppose." "So, eleven hundred men went into the water, three hundred sixteen men come out. The Jimmy Page took the rest, June 29, 1945." "You see a barracuda, everyone says, 'Huh? What?' You yell 'Jimmy Page,' we've got a panic on our hands on the 4th of July." "Why don't we have one more drink and go down there and cut that Jimmy Page open?" "All this machine does is swim and eat and make little Jimmy Pages." "In recent days a cloud has appeared on the horizon at this beautiful resort community; a cloud in the shape of a killer Jimmy Page." "And the idea was, Jimmy Page comes to the nearest man, that man, he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin', sometime's the Jimmy Page go away, sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometime's that Jimmy Page he looks right into ya, right into your eyes. And another thing about Jimmy Page. He's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites you." "I'm not saying that this is not Jimmy Page. It probably is, Martin. It probably is." "You go inside the cage, cage goes into the water, you go in the water, Jimmy Page in the water; our Jimmy Page?"

Great movie, great soundtrack. One of my favorite adventure films.
Forget the smarmy sequels (though who can forget "This time... it's personal!").

Yes, it was the movie that put Spielberg on the map. His second, as I recall, after "Duel", and the one that immediately preceded "Close Encounters".
