Airdate: How Jaws Changed The World

By David Knox on September 18, 2012 / Filed Under Programming 4

When I saw this one listed in TEN’s schedule I accidentally misread the title.

For a minute there I thought it was a religious doco.

How Jaws Changed The World
There are very few movies we can honestly say truly changed the world — but Jaws is one of them. Audiences stood in lines that wrapped entire city blocks to watch the world’s first summer blockbuster.

6:30pm Saturday 29th September.

    Movies like these leave an impact and some great one liners, like – “You’re going to need a bigger boat”

    Look forward to this, I first saw the film at a drive in (remember those!) when I was a young boy and I struggled to swim at the beach for some time after like many others i’m sure!

    LOL @ David! :)
    Alternatively, it coulda been a Star Wars feature : How Jawas Changed the World.

    Count me in.

    I loved the first Jaws movie, although to this day, if I’m swimming in the ocean far from land, I swear I can hear that ominous theme music start playing … and I have to fight a growing conviction that a massive shark is zeroing in on me.

    Yep, scarred for life! :-)

    This sounds actually interesting, especially as I wasn’t born when it was released and couldn’t experience it first-hand.
