Is "Jaws" the greatest movie ever made? An impossible question to answer, but it's my favorite and the one I've rewatched the most as an adult. I've been lucky enough to see it in theaters a couple of times, including for the IMAX restoration in 2022. As gorgeous as "Jaws" looked in IMAX, the trailer for the restoration is downright uncanny. Almost 50-year-old footage is cut together with modern trailer editing rhythm, from the jumpiness to turning Chief Martin Brody's (Roy Scheider) "You're gonna need a bigger boat" line into the kind of funny stinger you might see in a Marvel Studios trailer.
Now, in the movie, that line happens right after the jump scare where the shark first appears, rearing up behind Brody as he's throwing chum off the stern of The Orca, Quint's (Robert Shaw) fishing boat. Brody's back is turned when the shark breaches the water,...

What if Bruce, the mechanical shark in "Jaws," had actually worked? It's one of the biggest what-ifs in Hollywood history. While the movie's Great White Shark may have been "a perfect engine" (to quote Richard Dreyfuss' bespectacled scientist Matt Hooper), Bruce -- who got its moniker from Steven Spielberg's lawyer, Bruce Ramer -- was anything but. Because of this, Spielberg and editor Verna Fields were forced to reconfigure the film's raw footage to avoid showing "The Great White Turd" (as the movie's crew came to call it) as much as possible. What emerged was a triumph of minimalistic horror filmmaking where what you don't see is just as terrifying as what you do, if not more so.
But what if Spielberg had never gotten to direct one of his all-time best movies to begin with? It's easy to recognize in hindsight that ol' Stevie Boy was fated to adapt Peter Benchley's pulpy best-seller,...

The Academy picked the right year to give an Honorary Oscar to film editor Carol Littleton. They’re saluting a female editor at a time when three of the year’s major awards contenders —“Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Oppenheimer” and “Maestro” — are edited by Thelma Schoonmaker, Jennifer Lame and Michelle Tesoro, respectively, and when other women in the mix include Hilda Rasula for “American Fiction,” Victoria Boydell for “Saltburn,” Sarah Flack for “Priscilla” and co-editors Claire Simpson (with Sam Restivo) for “Napoleon” and Oona Flaherty (with Nick Moore) for “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret.”
“The Editors Guild has about 2,900 picture editors, and 764 women,” said Littleton, a one-time president of that guild. “That’s about a fourth. So isn’t it interesting that these three big prestigious films, ‘Oppenheimer,’ and ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ and ‘Maestro,’ are edited by women?”

Robert Dalva, the film editor who earned an Oscar nomination for his work on the touching family adventure The Black Stallion and collaborated with director Joe Johnston on five films, including Jumanji and Captain America: The First Avenger, has died. He was 80.
Dalva died Jan. 27 of lymphoma in Marin County, California, his son Matthew Dalva told The Hollywood Reporter.
Dalva attended USC film school in the same class with George Lucas, and he went to work with him and Francis Ford Coppola in 1969 as the pair launched their innovative American Zoetrope production company in San Francisco.
The relationship paid off when Lucas hired Dalva to handle second-unit photography — he shot the land speeder going across the desert — on the original Star Wars (1977).
On the Coppola-produced Black Stallion (1979), starring Mickey Rooney in an Oscar-nominated performance, Dalva partnered with director Carroll Ballard, who also did second-unit work on Star Wars.

In the 94-year history of the Oscars, there is only one category, besides Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, that has never been won by a woman. That would be Best Cinematography, which honors a movie’s lighting, framing and camerawork.
Those are hardly gender-specific achievements, though the Oscars, for better or worse, are a reflection of the opportunities offered in the film industry. And as such, there are deep institutional reasons why this specific category has such a poor track record for women.
The trivia stat could change on Sunday night. Ari Wegner, the Australian cinematographer of Jane Campion’s nomination-leader “The Power of the Dog,” is nominated for her thoughtful, intuitive work on the film. TheWrap’s Steve Pond predicts that Wegner will take home the trophy, giving her the edge over “Dune” Dp Greig Fraser (the cinematographer of Campion’s previous movie “Bright Star”), who has scored the BAFTA and ASC precursors.

This was the original tagline of what’s still a perfect film: “Jaws: See It Before You Go Swimming.” 45 years ago this weekend movie goers at their local cinemas were introduced to Bruce, the great white shark. Jaws sits at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.
In his review Roger Ebert wrote: “Jaws” is a great adventure movie of the kind we don’t get very often any more. It’s clean-cut adventure, without the gratuitous violence of so many action pictures. It has the necessary amount of blood and guts to work — but none extra. And it’s one hell of a good story, brilliantly told.”
The film is streaming on HBO Max as well as it three follow-up movies.
The trailer’s ominous narration said, “There is a creature alive today who has survived millions of years of evolution, without change, without passion and without logic. It lives to kill – a mindless eating machine.

Summer has always been peak movie season and there certainly have been major releases before 1975. But a combination of elements came together in a perfect storm of entertainment that created something new: the summer blockbuster. You start with a stellar adaptation of Peter Benchley’s best-selling novel in the hands of a young, still-developing but promising director in Steven Spielberg, a strong cast anchored by Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss, and a fresh score from John Williams. Altogether, Jaws burst into the American consciousness. It rewrote the rules for Hollywood success, rules that only recently have been challenged.

English-born film editor Anne V. Coates, who won an Academy Award for cutting David Lean’s classic “Lawrence of Arabia,” has died. She was 92.
She earned that 1963 Oscar: In addition to its impressive balance of imposing desert landscapes and vivid human drama (culled from some 31 miles of footage), the nearly four-hour epic contains one of the most famous “match” cuts in movie history, from a shot of Peter O’Toole blowing out a match to a majestic desert sunrise.
Coates went on to receive four more Academy Award nominations, for editing Peter Glenville’s “Becket” (1964), David Lynch’s “The Elephant Man” (1980), Wolfgang Petersen’s “In the Line of Fire” (1993) and Steven Soderbergh’s “Out of Sight” (1988).
Her other credits include “Young Cassidy” (1965), “The Bofors Gun” (1968), “The Public Eye” (1972), “Murder on the Orient Express” (1974), “What About Bob?” (1991), “Chaplin” (1992), “Congo” (1995), “Striptease” (1996) and Soderbergh’s “Erin Brockovich” (2000).

10. Alien
Directed by Ridley Scott
Written by Dan O’Bannon
UK / USA, 1979
Genre: Sci-Fi Horror
Boasting one of the greatest taglines of all time – “In space, no one can hear you scream” – Alien blends science fiction, horror, and bleak poetry into what could have easily turned into a simple B-monster movie. In fact, the movie was originally pitched to producers as “Jaws in space,” but thankfully Ridley Scott, who was stepping behind the camera for only the second time, took the film far more seriously. Like Steven Spielberg’s great thriller, most of the running time relies on the viewer’s imagination since Scott carefully restricts how little we see of the creature. Alien can certainly test a viewer’s patience. This is an extremely slow burn (something unusual for the genre) and despite the budget, stellar effects, and ambitious set design, Alien in a sense is a minimalist film...

"When I think of 'Jaws' I think about courage and stupidity. And I think of both of those things existing underwater." That's a quote from Steven Spielberg on his time directing the 1975 horror classic, which turns 40 this Saturday. Proving that sometimes greatness can spring from unimaginable misery, the film was famously a nightmare to shoot, with numerous production problems including the frequent malfunctioning of "Bruce," the collective name given to the film's trio of animatronic sharks. But don't take my word for it. Below are ten hellish behind-the-scenes straight from the mouths of those involved that will make you wonder how they managed to finish the film at all. 1. This is what happens when you hire a stuntman with no diving experience When husband-and-wife shark experts Ron and Valerie Taylor were commissioned to get footage of actual Great Whites attacking a cage (for the famous Richard Dreyfuss underwater sequence), the...

The Star Wars franchise is going strong 38 years later. But what about the artists and filmmakers who helped make the 1977 original a hit?
In theatres all over the world in 1977, audiences thrilled at the sights and sounds of Star Wars. Harking back to a bygone age of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, it also pointed forward to the coming age of ubiquitous computers and special effects-led blockbusters.
But while the triumphant fanfare of John Williams' score gave Star Wars a confident swagger, its success was far from preordained. George Lucas reworked his script time and again; studios turned his concept down; even the production was rushed and torturous.
By now, the contribution George Lucas, John Williams and Star Wars' cast made to cinema is well documented. But what about some of the other artists, technicians and fellow filmmakers who helped to make the movie such a success? Here's...

The Motion Picture Sound Editors' (Mpse) 62nd annual Golden Reel Awards honored a full spread of films Sunday night. "American Sniper," "Birdman," "Unbroken," "Get On Up" and "Big Hero 6" all walked away with hardware. At the Oscars, "Sniper," "Birdman" and "Unbroken" are up against "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" and "Interstellar." "Birdman" won the Cinema Audio Society's mixing prize Saturday and could well win both sound fields. Or it could split with "Sniper," or Clint Eastwood's war film could take both, etc. Lots of options seem evident. (And the sound categories, by the way, are the only places for "Unbroken" fans to speak up.) Check out the full list of Mpse winners below, nominees here and the rest of the season's offerings at The Circuit.

Now this is a list that could result in a lot of fascinating dissection and thanks to HitFix it comes to our attention almost three years after it was originally released back in 2012, celebrating the Motion Picture Editors Guild's 75th anniversary. Over at HitFix, Kris Tapley asks, "Is this news to anyone elsec" Um, yes, I find it immensely interesting and a perfect starting point for anyone looking to further explore the art of film editing. In an accompanying article we get the particulars concerning what films were eligible and how films were to be considered: In our Jan-feb 12 issue, we asked Guild members to vote on what they consider to be the Best Edited Films of all time. Any feature-length film from any country in the world was eligible. And by "Best Edited," we explained, we didn't just mean picture; sound, music and mixing were to be considered as well.

A random bit of researching on a Tuesday night led me to something I didn't know existed: The Motion Picture Editors Guild's list of the 75 best-edited films of all time. It was a feature in part celebrating the Guild's 75th anniversary in 2012. Is this news to anyone else? I confess to having missed it entirely. Naturally, I had to dig in. What was immediately striking to me about the list — which was decided upon by the Guild membership and, per instruction, was considered in terms of picture and sound editorial as opposed to just the former — was the most popular decade ranking. Naturally, the 1970s led with 17 mentions, but right on its heels was the 1990s. I wouldn't have expected that but I happen to agree with the assessment. Thelma Schoonmaker's work on "Raging Bull" came out on top, an objectively difficult choice to dispute, really. It was so transformative,...

The final guild/industry group to declare nominees did so this afternoon as the Motion Picture Sound Editors (Mpse) spoke up with a roll call of players for the 62nd Golden Reel Awards. On the film side of things, "Birdman" and "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" had the best showing with three nominations each. I've been wondering if the latter could slide into Oscar play this year, but it's hard to gauge here, as "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" had a nice Mpse showing, too. In the effects/foley category, "Fury" is featured as well, also a strong possibility to pop up. All other expected players ("American Sniper," "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Unbroken," etc.) are featured. We'll see how the sound branch shakes it all out tomorrow but I'm a little more confused by where they'll end up going than usual, I must say. Check out...

Rocco is an anomaly: Not only has she survived countless regime changes in a dog-eat-dog business, but as the first female distribution head she rallied Universal past the $1B mark nine times (2000, 2003, 2005, 2007-08, 2011-14), with last year’s $1.42B haul marking an all-time high for the studio. Such box office feats have been achieved by Rocco not only by meeting moviegoers head-on during prime seasons such as summer and the year-end holidays but in her boldness to successfully launch titles and cater to crowds on weekends that rival distrib chiefs underestimated.

10. Videodrome (1983) directed by David Cronenberg
In David Cronenberg’s world, sex hurts so good; it’s innately disgusting and primeval but at the same time beautiful and becoming. (Kind of like sex in the real world, when you think about it.) Bodies degenerate and mental states corrode under the influence of lust, and yet something new is engendered by the collision of bodies, bodily fluids, the ripping of flesh and the mangling of organs. Through the carrion of ugly comes the attractive flesh, the new flesh. Videodrome, as Jonathan Lethem once quipped, remains Cronenberg’s most penetrative film; he creates a world at once rooted in modernity circa 1983–a world afraid of the advent of television usurping our humanity, over-stimulated times ushering in the end times–and existing in a timeless, placeless vacuum. It’s vast and claustrophobic, prescient and paranoid, of the same lineage as early James Cameron...

Oscar Horrors looks at nominated contributions to this non-Oscar bait genre. Here's Craig on Jaws.
Here Lies... a beautifully cut shark by the name of Bruce. Oscar-winning editor Verna Fields did the celluloid slicing and dicing...
Spielberg made it a star of fearful proportions. John Williams gave it an iconic theme tune. Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw obsessively stalked it. And Richard D. Zanuck and David Brown looked on, clutching the purse strings, as they all went about their blockbusting business. But the person who gave Amity Island’s Great White unwanted visitor fierce presence and a sinister personality most could arguably be the editor Verna Fields. Alongside Spielberg and Co. she was instrumental in terrorizing the world with Jaws, summer 1975’s maiden blockbuster movie. She manoeuvred the shark’s arrival and departure – in tandem, of course, with Williams’ score – helping to create cinema’s scariest PG-rated, non-human villain.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Jaws is often cited as a turning point for mainstream American cinema – its record-breaking success at the box office marking it as, essentially, the first Summer blockbuster. Watching it now, however, what is striking is how different it is to so much of its progeny, and a large part of that is down to the skill and dedication of the young Steven Spielberg, who knew how to tease, manipulate and frighten an audience, but also knew how important it was that the audience cared about the characters first. By the end of the opening sequence, the 26-year-old Spielberg has you in the palm of his hand.
Take the attack on the Kintner boy. The placement of the scene, and its effect, is sometimes compared to Hitchcock’s shower scene, although the sequence is weighed much more towards build-up than pay-off. Roy Scheider’s cop, Police Chief Brody,...

All good things come to those who wait. That being said the reason why Blu-ray was invented is finally here. Steven Spielberg's Jaws, arguably the first and the greatest summer movie ever made, in addition to being one of the best American films of all-time, has been given a complete digital 4K restoration derived from the original camera negative. The results are magnificent. A far cry from the McA DiscoVision laser disc, the Capacitance Electronic Disc (Ced) by RCA, the VHS tape, the 20th anniversary letterboxed laser disc, or even the past two previous DVD incarnations (which were admittedly pretty decent), the new Blu-ray most closely approximates what it was like to see Jaws for the first time in movie theaters in the summer of 1975. Best of all, the Blu-ray cover retains artist Roger Kastel’s iconic poster art.

If I remember correctly, Stephen King's "Cujo" was the first book to scare me, but the first movie to haunt my dreams was Steven Spielberg's Jaws. With "Cujo" it was just a thought that two red eyes were staring out of my closet at me (I was very young by the way). With Jaws it was a couple of things. First the image of the giant shark leaping out of the water, though if memory serves, I don't even believe I could see a shark, just the giant splashing. Fitting if you think about it. Second was that piercing screech that accompanies the shot of Ben Gardner's head popping out of a hole in his boat. I know now the latter scene was shot in a swimming pool in editor Verna Fields' backyard. Yet, where it was shot doesn't make the scene any less effective and...

Hollywood producer and president of 20th Century Fox who made his name with Jaws
Despite the fact that the giant shadow of his father, the legendary movie mogul Darryl F Zanuck, loomed large over him for most of his life, Richard Zanuck, who has died of a heart attack aged 77, triumphantly overcame inferences of nepotism and wisecracks such as "the son also rises", to become one of the most successful Hollywood producers in the last 50 years. His reputation was due initially to Jaws (1975), among the highest grossing movies up to that time, and he was a key figure in launching the career of its director, Steven Spielberg. Zanuck was Oscar-nominated for Jaws and won the Academy Award for best picture with Driving Miss Daisy (1989).
Born in Los Angeles, Zanuck seemed destined to enter show business. He was the third child and only son of the co-founder and head of 20th Century Fox,...

Steven Spielberg's classic 1975 summer blockbuster "Jaws" - in many ways the first summer blockbuster - will look better than ever when it finally lands on Blu-ray on August 14, as part of Universal's centennial celebrations. "Jaws" centers on a small New England island community besieged by a mindless great white shark over the 4th of July weekend. Roy Scheider plays land-lubbing Chief Brody, who joins a grizzled captain (Robert Shaw) and a marine expert (Richard Dreyfuss) on the ultimate shark hunt/male bonding trip. The film -- with its masterful cutting by Verna Fields -- is still a model of film suspense, and put...

It’s 35 years since Jaws hit multiplexes, become an instant classic, made bucket loads of money, turned its director into a star and made bathers think twice before going into the water. Since then we have had some toothless sequels, countless rip offs, lots of movie referencing (Airplane and Back to the Future Part II being the best) and a shark mythology that refuses to die. But what were the essential elements that made Jaws a phenomenon?
In the fourth of our giant sized movie celebration articles (various Owf writers have previously argued for Ghostbusters, Gremlins, Back to the Future and Psycho) and in no particular order here are 50 reasons why Jaws may in fact be the greatest film of all time…
1. The Invisible Shark
Whether it was mechanical shark difficulties or a wise directors’ decision (or probably a bit of both), there’s no denying that less is considerably more with old rubber teeth.

Chicago – A truly scary movie doesn’t release you from its grip when the end credits begin to roll. It doesn’t evaporate from your mind like a pleasurable yet disposable piece of escapist entertainment. It burrows itself within your subconscious and follows you like a malevolent shadow until night falls. Waiting to pounce, the horrors of your imagination hover at your bedside. Every sound, every movement and every gust of wind whistling against your window becomes intensified. Above all, the two things that continue to keep you awake are your rapidly beating heart and the fear of what nightmares await you as your mind fades to black.
This is the effect a supremely frightening film can have on the mind and soul. Of course, everyone has their own distinctive idea of what constitutes as cinematically scary. Some moviegoers are giddily susceptible to the knee-jerk jolts often consisting merely of...

She edited all of Tarantino's films in what he described as 'the true epitome of a collaboration'
Sally Menke, who has been found dead aged 56 after going hiking in California, was the most recent in a tradition of outstanding female film editors which includes Barbara McLean, Anne V Coates, Claudine Bouché, Verna Fields and Thelma Schoonmaker. Named editor of the year at the Hollywood film awards in 2004, Menke was renowned for her work with Quentin Tarantino, who in the early 1990s became the first superstar film-maker since Steven Spielberg.
Menke edited every one of Tarantino's films, from his 1992 debut, Reservoir Dogs, to last year's irreverent second world war yarn, Inglourious Basterds. The critic Todd McCarthy declared that her work on Pulp Fiction (1994) amounted to "the definition of precision". Tarantino called her "my main, real, truest and strongest collaborator".

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- The Saltemeir family and the viewer go through a very rough time in "Silent Lies", a dark and uncompromising look at incest and child abuse. The low-budget debut project of director Peter Kiwitt and writer Samuel Bernstein screened this month at the Santa Barbara Film Festival, and it's solid enough to achieve moderate success on cable and video.
Set in a small Texas town, "Silent Lies" features Elizabeth Anne Allen as college-bound 17-year-old Shelly, daughter of the monstrous Carl (Michael Harris), a domineering con man with a socially reprehensible attitude toward his own children. These two talented performers lead the viewer through co-producer Bernstein's wrenching scenario of a victim's growing desire for an end to her misery.
The independent production is not without awkward moments and the filmmaking is a bit raw, but the subject matter is guaranteed to arouse the viewer. Apart from the violent ending, the story line is unsettling like a psychological horror film and all too believable.
Bright and pretty, Shelly is an academic wonder but her only close friend is Raymond (Cedrick Terrell), a shy and caring classmate. Her father has been away for two years hiding from the law as the film opens. Shelly and younger sister Tanya (Dana Daurey) live with their trashy stepmother Ruby (Bonnie Burroughs).
One day Carl comes home and the bad dreams haunting Shelly take a concrete form. At first he's on relatively good behavior and gives her a classic Mustang convertible as a gift. Soon, however, the unrepentant misogynist and pedophile has beaten up Ruby and makes Shelly uncomfortable with his presence and blunt talk about sex.
Some of the most difficult material in the film is alluded to in flashbacks, wherein it's clear that Shelly endured unmentionable abuses as a child.
But she has grown since then and can no longer tolerate her father's sexual advances. When she refuses, Carl moves on to 14-year-old Tanya, who is already flirting shamelessly with boys. Unable to tell anyone of her own situation, Shelly panics when she sees Tanya encouraging Carl. Shelly does something drastic and then starts to plan retribution for the evil, manipulative Carl.
The climax in an abandoned ranch house, which involves Raymond, is the film's one major concession to audience expectations, but there are no winners in this sad story, only survivors.
Terrell (ABC's "Dangerous Minds") is a quiet, strong presence and Daurey is vital as the emotionally explosive and heartbreakingly naive Tanya. But the film belongs to Allen ("Crimes of the Heart") and Harris (UPN's "The Burning Zone"). The latter is riveting and repellent as the "monster" of "Silent Lies", while Allen is never less than convincing as the heroine torn apart by her pain and shame.
