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!

Ooh, yes please!

we are going to watch Jaws at the cinema tonight - very excited!

I spotted 'The Meg' on the 50p shelf in a charity shop the other day and <ahem> snapped it up. Am very chuffed

Just popping back to say I watched a pretty rubbish one on Sky tonight - Shark Bait. It did make jump quite a bit though having said that!

I bought my DH the Sharknado box set and he said it was the best present he'd ever had.

We love a shark film. Have you seen the trailer for Alien Shark - looks so bad, it's brilliant.

Shark Bait was quite watchable although I now have a habit of fast forwarding through truly boring segments of trashy films to get to the good bits!

SPOILER!! :

It annoyed me that we didn’t get to see her return to normal life - some context and contrast would have been good at the end.

@AtrociousCircumstance perhaps I’m being a bit harsh. It was entertaining enough I guess! Yes I thought that about the end too!

Watched Jaws as a child and it terrified me 😢 have a phobia now about 🦈

saw the OP’s headline and instantly thought of the scene in Friends - Chandler watches shark 🦈 porn 😂👍

Glad so many people enjoy the films 🎥🦈👍👍

Dh bought shark bait and another one the other week so I thought I would give it a go.

Rubbish the pair of them

Great thread! My DD and I love this type of movie, and our friend recommended the Shark-nado series to us a while ago - even just saying the words "Shark-nado"to each other makes us laugh...... Prompted by comments on this thread I think I will definitely be picking up the box set for her for Xmas if I can find it.......

Love love a shark film!! My son and I are working through the classics. There are a few on here I’ve not heard off so they’re going on my list.

Just came to the thread to say I watched Jaws 3 last night It was very lame on this second watch but I watched till the end.
I suppose, for the time though, it was good (It had also been in 3D originally)

I actually have a soft spot for Jaws 3(D). I think it’s the Sea World-esque setting! the whole underwater tunnel thing. And a young Dennis Quaid maybe too 😂

@ExcaliburBaby me too! I like the homage to the underwater control room in Deep Blue Sea :)

Loved the shallows, jaws, deep blue sea, the Meg and shark documentaries, but absolutely couldn't stand The Reef! Absolutely abysmal acting and very predictable!

I enjoyed 47 meters down.

I was dithering about getting sky movies on a cheap deal and the fact u can watch rubbish shark movies convinces me to do it!

Or crocodile movies like crawl or lake placid.

Where are you guys all watching these shark films? I’ve looked a few up but they don’t appear to be on any streaming tv apart from Amazon but not included in prime?

Deep Blue Sea is excellent. But yes for other creatures you have to go a long way to beat the sheer joy of Lake Placid. Betty White 😍. Plus, massive creatures, obvs.

Lake Placid is divine! Scary creatures, a fab story, Betty White and some hilarious lines.
DH and I often quote that film to each other!😂

Has nobody mentioned the the ummmm...masterpiece that is Noah's Shark?!

other good croc films are

rouge
black water

I almost prefer Deep Blue Sea to Jaws! It's such an awesome film with a cool cast...if you ever have a chance to listen to the audio commentary on DVD, it's well worth it, and hilarious. Once Samuel Jackson gets it, he's like...'right, I'm off...'😂😂😂

I'm watching Deep Blue Sea right now. I love this film.

Wanted Lake Placid, but it's not streaming free anywhere.

Jaws will always be my #1 for so many reasons, but I absolutely love Deep Blue Sea. You're right, it's so cool. I do a happy dance whenever it comes on tv.
