I saw Jaws at the cinema on it's original release, there has been all this stuff about how fake the shark was, but it drew me in totally, the death of Quint seemed to go on forever and was extremely harrowing.
Then later on discovering the Indianopolis story was essentially true,well,just a brilliant film.
My dad loved Zulu,so I have seen it I don't know how many times, It was on again recently, and I watched it, again.
I liked Nigel Green, the very epitome of a British Seargent Major,and his line to Jack Hawkins "Be quiet now,there's a good gentleman,you are scaring the lads"
That line was used more or less verbatim by Sean Pertwee in the Horror movie Dog Soldiers,as a kind of homage I expect.
Zulu Dawn is by no means a bad film,but it mainly shows how good Zulu was.
Both Jaws and Zulu should be compulsory viewing for the modern crash bang wallop CGI obsessed audience, as an example of how films can create unbearable tension, even when there is nothing happening.
All the best.
