Currently sat watching "Great White" on sky cinema... it got a 1 star waiting.. im loving it!!

Please tell me I am not alone in my love for a good shark film? Also any recommendations on others I might not have seen!

I think the same about piranha - it’s a really good film apart from the utterly gratuitous nudity. Pisses me off.

Oh the naked 'lesbian' porn swimming is ridiculous. I was listening to a podcast talking about it and the host suggested it was literally made to excite teenage boys. Other than that I do enjoy that film. The sequel was poor trash though

Late to it, but just watched Something in the water. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Anyone else going to see Jaws at the cinema? Got tickets booked for Friday night with my 11yo, its his favourite film 🦈

Scorchio84 · 03/09/2025 03:17

My OH & I went on Friday just gone.. we'd already seen it (twice!) about two years ago as part of a nostalgia season in one of the cinemas in town but yeah seeing it on the big screen is something else!

I hope you both have a great time @afrikat it truly is a film for the ages

Ooh has Prime suggested Fear Below to anyone else?

sharks + 1930s gangster = I’m in!

so far ok but I haven’t seen the sharks yet!

Meh!

relatively light on the shark action, I think they have tried to make it a “real” movie with proper themes but I like my shark movies hammy and frankly insane!

Haha same

Looking forward to Beast of War, anyone else seen that?

Scorchio84 · 15/10/2025 00:03

No @afrikat do you know where it's on?

afrikat · 15/10/2025 08:46

@Scorchio84 looks like its pretty limited and you have to pay for it

Defo & thanks again for the heads up, we might reconvene when it's streaming

Hereforthedramaz · 10/04/2026 20:22

Ooh anyone else watching Thrash on Netflix?

Not bad, back to a classic, campy flooding related shark movie!

I've literally just finished it. Loved it. Usual, over-the-top, cheesy shark film.

Just got a *you might like" notification for this - they know me so well 😂 - straight on the watch list 🦈

afrikat · 10/04/2026 21:15

Looking forward to this one! Saw the guardian gave it one star, which weirdly makes me even more excited 🤣

I also watched it today Grin

I quite enjoyed it

Years ago a friend of mine dropped some acid and went to see Jaws. The next night he did it again. Nice bloke though.

WhackingPhoenix · 12/04/2026 22:20

We’ve just watched Thrash! Very cheesy and predictable, but a good watch all the same Grin
