1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS, DVD?

Saw it on TV when I was maybe 6 or 7.

2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it?

I had heard it was a great film and it would put me off swimming in the sea :)

3 - How was the viewing experience?

I loved it. Especially when they go after the shark in the boat and the soundtrack.

4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?

I wore out the tape I recorded off TV so quite a few times. Watched it every day for awhile.

5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?

Jaws was the film that turned me into a total movie buff.

1 - Do you remember when you first watched it? Theater, VHS, DVD? at the movies on it's initial run.

2 - Did you get any feedback (from friends or media) prior to watching it? the "have to see movie" of the summer

3 - How was the viewing experience? more than expected...a great piece of cinema

4 - How many times have you rewatched it since? too many to count....most likely my most repeated movie ever.

5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share? Living in "The Ocean State" it most definitely gave me pause every time I went to the beach....hell...I would hear that music in my head whilst swimming in my pool and get creeped out.

Lots of memories associated with, quite possibly, the scariest horror film involving water of all time.

Moving on to another cult classic...

2. I just remember my mom telling me about it.

3. I thought it was awesome, and it really gave me the willies for a while. I remember being freaked out when I would go to bed, thinking that I'd wake up and Damien would be standing at the foot of my bed or something.

4. 2 or 3

5. Not really. I like it, and think it's an effective horror film, but it hasn't remained one of my favorites.

Watched it on TV a few years ago.

I remember a few years before I saw it for the first time my mother (who isn't usually the kind to watch horror films) watched it after I had gone to bed. It was quite loud and could hear it while I was lying in bed. I was already aware of the film though.


3 - How was the viewing experience?
Can't quite say I remember. When I was first going to watch it on TV, I was getting prepped as I had the house to myself only for my sister and her boyfriend to barge in and watch TV instead, which annoyed me. I've always been honest that this has never been a favourite, although I am fond of it. I always felt that Omens II and III are underrated. Omen IV is dire though.


4 - How many times have you rewatched it since?
A few times

5 - Any memories associated with it, that you wish to share?
Again in my University days this was required viewing to learn about scoring horror films. Unfortunately I missed the screening (I had to have a criminal record check which was standard procedure at the university so a few of us missed the screening). It was a shame because I always prefer watching a film in a screening room or theatre environment to anything else and one of my friends (Who HATES horror movies and is scared witless by them) got to go and I missed his reaction. Still I got the film on DVD and watched that and the next week we watched the openings of several horror films in class and freaked him out (I especially recall his reaction to the opening to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. lol).

I can't think of a single gay horror classic.

Sorry Posher.
