Jaws or The Thing?

[dead breed]

Pretty much every horror fan love these movies. Which one do you prefer?

I prefer Jaws...but its close.

[IKickAssForTheLord]

pfft for me its not even close. The Thing.

Even though just thinkin' 'bout a shark eatin' me scares the shit outta me.

[skybrick]

I am not going to bother voting its too close.

Jaws baby. If you look at it, at its time, there was nothing like it. The camera angles directly at the surface, the robotic shark of course, and the acting alone just slays me. It's by far one of the best movies ever made in my opinion. I do LOVE the Thing though. Not to discredit it at all. Just my choice.

I like em both A LOT,so I'm going to go with Jaws today.

This is a hard choice to make.

On the surface, one would ask: "what the fuck do these two movies have in common, other than being hailed as 'classics?" But I would go into this poll thinking about the character driven aspects of both movies as common ground... fuck, these two movies had hellacious character/actor mojo going on...

Brody, Quint and Hooper in Jaws... some righteous interraction going on there.

Mac, Childs, Nauls, Palmer, Fuchs, Blair, Garry... Fuckin' dynamic paranoia and intellectual pontification mixed with bitchin' bravado...


All in all, I love both movies... but I'm gonna go with what is one of my all time faves.... The Thing.

Jaws. Both are great but Jaws has a shark.

[ASoron0424]

Jaws. Both are great but Jaws has a shark.

lol - The Thing has a dog with tentacles and a severed head with six legs and antennae

[Metapher]

It's not a shark though, now is it? =)

The Jaws Thing



Love 'em both. If it was do or die - The Thing

[Highwayman]

Tough... Jaws.

[Chief Falling Rock]

I'm gonna go with The Thing cuz its one of my all time favorites, BUT these are both 2 great films for different reasons. The Thing has great special effects but Jaws really messes with your fears better I think though. The Fear of being eatin alive, and the fear of sharks that most people have. And the fear of the unseen predator just below the surface. The beginning seen of Jaws is still one of the most chilling things ever filmed. And you never see blood. So I'm gonna go with The Thing cuz I love it. But Jaws is great too.

I'm gonna go with "The Thing". It just has so much more tension. But I gotta say, "Jaws" and "The Thing" shouldn't really be compared to each other.
