To love a shark film

[Mammyloveswine]

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!

there is one coming out with Avator actor with killer whales, alpha. That looks good!!

@Mammyloveswine have you seen the sequel to 47m?

I was looking forward to the Meg for about a year but felt a little disappointed, not enough carnage

I have found my tribe.

There's a crocodile film on Amazon Prime called Freshwater (www.imdb.com/title/tt2751140/). I think it may be the worst film that has ever been made and I highly recommend it. I watched it one night, and then made DH sit down and watch it with me the next night as I couldn't quite believe what I'd just seen.

in fact i really like any big monster film, would recommend crawl, rouge, black water & lake placid,

I like shark night

5 headed shark was a doozy…took a while for the 5th head to appear 🤔

Sharkansas Women's Prison Massacre Is a classic of our time

Love a good low budget shark film, but have much bigger love for realistic shark films. The Reef is SO good. So well done and so tense. The ending actually really upset me, after everything they’d gone through!

The same director has done a few animal attack films and I think he’s done The Reef: Stalked - though I don’t think it’s a sequel to The Reef though, which was loosely based on a true story of a group of people on a boat that sank and had to swim to a nearby island.

@afrikat yep, love them all particularly no 2

I've just let my children watch Jaws and Jaws 2 and they LOVED them (admittedly not as much as me!). I found my son watching the gory bit the next day which he'd fast forwarded to. You cannot beat a good shark movie. Or documentary, love those too (especially the really terrible American ones where there is 5 minutes interesting footage in an hours programme - the rest is all dramatic music!)

Sharknado! So bad it's good!

Shark movies are my favourite type of movie! Bait, The Reef, Jaws 1 and 2, and my favourite Deep Blue Sea...I could go on and on. And even though there are no sharks around here I still don't go in the sea!
I love sharks though..they're majestic creatures.

Shark Attack 3, classic bad acting esp John Barrowman and that line!

The albino blind shark sounds quite nice. I'd be rooting for him/her tbf

Agree re the opening sequence of Jaws with the skinny dipping girl. Spielberg is a genius

Seriously????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please let it be true!

Ooh the albino blind shark - was it set in Mexico in some old caves, dad archaeologist, teenage kids etc reached by a cenote….Dreadfully excellent.

Now watching The Reef as I don’t think I have seen it!!!!

I love shark films, croc films, alligator films, giant squid films - absolutely adore them. All the Jaws ones (natch), The Meg, Deep Blue Sea 1 & 2 (but 3 was a bit lame), The Beast (technically a tv miniseries but fab), Black Water 1 & 2, Great White isn't bad, Jersey Shore Shark Attack is crap but funny, all the Lake Placid ones, and the Piranha films too, The Reef (another excellent one). Plus all those ones that are really shite but you sit and take the piss out of them anyway. The one when sharks appeared out of water coolers and fire hydrants?! And one when they came out of the sand. Bliss.

Glad there’s so much love for The Reef - genuinely scary!!! I watched it
in the middle of the night while up with my then newborn baby. Proper shit me up!

please watch Frenzy if you can track it down - pretty good!!

in terms of Jaws films, I have a real soft spot for Jaws 3. It has Dennis Quaid in it and is set in a Sea World type park - guilty pleasure!

Frenzy was also released as Surrounded in some countries FYI

Samuel L Jackson's death is one of the best scenes in all of cinema.

Shark Attack 3 The Megalodon is one of the silliest most low budget films I’ve ever seen. Dreadful special effects and even worse dialogue John Barrowman is in it, he later claimed he did it for the money but there’s a moment when he tells the female lead “I want to take you home and eat your pussy”. Really quite jarring.

Love love love all shark films!! Cheesy , jumpy whatever!
My husband loves the old style b films - creature features so stuff like Sharknado, Sand Sharks etc are our go to !

Also partial to other films ie Big Ass Spider, snakes on a plane!!

I love this thread!

Only realised reading this today that the variety amongst shark films is incredible really, from the utter wonderful insanity of the Sharknados to Quint's Indianapolis monologue in Jaws, which I think is one of the finest bits of screen acting ever.

So, not shark films in reality but perhaps in spirit - this weekend I’ve watched Beast (Lions) and Fall (instead of 47 Meters Down its 2000 feet up)

Beast is silly but fun and Fall is a bloody brilliant survival thriller. The only thing that could improved it is if there was a big tank with sharks at the bottom of the tower waiting for them if they fell in. Deffo worth a (highly stressful!) watch.

Bait (2012)

Taunami hits Australian coast and the customers and staff of a supermarket end up trapped in the flooded building with a great white.

(apologies if this has already been posted, thread is tl;dr)

I watched Fall on Friday!!! I couldn't BREATHE!! Really enjoyed it!

Not a shark film at all but "no escape" is also another fab film where you can't breathe!!

I did once watch a film about a sky raise with the rock in...so hilariously bad but I loved it! Highlight was him using his false leg to climb back up the outside of said skyscraper after an unfortunate incident with a rope...
