Jaws
Jaws doesn't just open with a bang, it opens with a bloody shark attack that sets the tone for cinematic thrillers. You ever try to go into the ocean after watching that? You’re knee-deep on the shore and suddenly every wave looks like a dorsal fin. Plus, let's not forget that theme music—a few notes and suddenly you're on high alert, even in a kiddie pool! It’s absolutely rewatchable, too. You've seen it a dozen times, but every time you still scream at the screen like Brody is somehow gonna win this battle. And don't even get me started on the absurdity of living in a town where you know there's a shark and STILL go swimming! Jaws is a classic; you either laugh, scream, or get salty when it comes up in GoatWars. Which side are you on?
