Thor 7,515 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I've seen it. It's not bad for a genre film, but a far cry from the first film. But the less said about no. 3 and 4, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I haven't seen most of those films either, but the ones I have seen that I think you would enjoy watching are The FurySchindler's ListA.I.Minority ReportI wouldn't really expect to "enjoy" watching Schindler's List. I know it's an important historical movie with a powerful message. I've just never wanted to watch human suffering on that scale for a few hours.

Jay 37,370 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I know but you get to enjoy great performances from Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, and Ralph Fiennes Wojo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Why has NO ONE ever seen Jaws 2?Seems not very plausible to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Why has NO ONE ever seen Jaws 2?Because Jaws 2 sees you. Not the other way about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just never wanted to watch human suffering on that scale for a few hours.It's enjoyable as a piece of artistic expression; Acting, cinematography, editing, music, etc. It's not a joyful experience obviously, but it still elicits certain emotions that are healthy and necessary.

Andy 4,139 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Why has NO ONE ever seen Jaws 2?I know, right? It's a fun film that lacks the violence and camaraderie of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,515 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 interestingly, the film's director, Jeannot Szwarc -- who had his "big" period in the 80s -- is now cropping up as a television director everywhere, doing high-profile series such as SMALLVILLE, FRINGE, SUPERNATURAL, HEROES etc. Not bad for a 74-year-old.And although he never did a whole lot of films, his composer track record is pretty impressive -- Basil Poledouris, John Williams, John Barry, Jerry Goldsmith, Henry Mancini, Gabriel Yared!

Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I've seen the vast majority of his filmography, so I'll have to say either The Adventures of Tintin or Jaws 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think the 'greatest' somehow figures in his irritation. It's not particularly 'advanced' music but the theme is one of the few defining pieces of simple romantic music able to elevate corny melodrama into a higher plane just by stoic conviction.

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The Patriot and Memoirs of a GeishaI have about 30 minutes of each in my playlist. I've seen bits of the former, but it never sustains my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,550 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It was a hit in the cinema.Steef's right. "JAWS 2" took over $80,000,000 domestic. By 1978 standards, that was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
