I've re-watched it a couple times since when we had our debates about it...found a new appreciation for it, definitely. There's
no question that it's a great film - still, like VC, I don't find it "scary" in the least, and personally I think I'll always prefer the book.
But yeah...I've learned to love it since the times I used to bash it back in the day, heh. (But for the life of me I still can't convince myself to sit through Jaws again, as much as I want to like it ;))
