re: Is Jaws the perfect movie?

When I was a kid growing up, part of a Friday night family ritual, my brother, sister and I got to go to the local stop-n-go and pick out a vhs to watch. Starting about age 5, every single Friday, I chose Jaws. I was fascinated by great white sharks. The act wore thin with my siblings, but I had a loaded bag of fricks and not one single frick to give away.

I think, yes, Jaws is a perfect movie. As I got older and appreciated "acting" more, the Quint Indianapolis speech put it into perspective for me of how great the scenes on the boat are.
