Shark movies are awesome because people are always getting chewed in half and having limbs severed. I like Jaws because the music makes it really scary because you can't see the shark but you know it's coming. The first Jaws is packed with suspense and goriness. My favourite bit is when the shark attacks Dr Hooper in the cage. Unfortunately the other Jaws movies were not so good with awful shark models in Jaws II, CGI that was nearly as bad as the new Star Wars movies in Jaws III and a shark that explodes by swimming into a boat in Jaws: the Revenge.
Deep Blue Sea is another bad ass movie were scientists get stuck in their compound with bloodthirsty super smart sharks. I like the bit when Samuel L Jackson gave a great heroic speech and just after he finished he got eaten by a shark. My favourite bit is when Preacher the chef gets trapped in the oven after losing his bird to a shark in an oven which has accidentally turned on. While the shark was busting through the glass Preacher makes a hole and climbs out of the top, jumps out and with his awesome line of: "you ate my bird" throws his lighter into the gas oven and blows the shark up. Although there was some shonky CGI the model sharks were amazing.
Me and my Dad have the pleasure of watching some other ones Such as... Sharks in Venice, (that's actually its name) Shark Attack and Ghost Shark. Dad can't wait!
An excellent debut post - enjoy those other shark films. Is Sharknado on the list?
