BM - You know, I don't really find Jaws all that scary, and it never bothered me in any sense in regard to getting in the water. There are a few shocks in it...but seriously I hate horror movies and I don't think of it as one. More like "The Terminator" with the shark playing the part that Arnold did. With more emotion. ;-) Slatrat – I have a fun little image in my head of Montalban eagerly ripping off the white Mr. Rourke suit each day for filming and having the sort of tattered Khan rags on underneath, screaming “Let’s get it on, Shatner!”

As well as Star Wars and LOTR (all three). I totally agree with your thoughts on PB and Holy Grail. And SW and LOTR are just great - great movie making and pure entertainment. Believe it or not, I have never seen Jaws. I know someone from our generation really ought to have seen the flick by now. But honestly, water movies scare me. I saw Open Water recently and it only served to freak me further about being in oceans and lakes. I don't think I need Jaws to help that paranoia further. ;) Nice list. -bm You make me want to watch The Holy Grail and Princess Bride YET AGAIN. As well as Star Wars and LOTR (all three).

Ricardo Montalban was fabulous - even the very famous highbrow New Yorker film critic, Pauline Kael loved Montalban on the movie. I believe she something along the lines that it was his finest performance ever and showed that he had magnificent acting chops.
