Pant-Soiling Scenes #5: JAWS
By rights, nothing is scarier than Jaws. Being that this particular moment has remained so scary for 35 years is a testament to just how amazing the film is. A lot of old films age gracelessly and look cheesy now (Earthquake, I’m looking at you here…) but Spielberg’s creative pinnacle is undoubtedly one of the most important pieces of film and houses the most frightening opening scene known to man. I give you the demise of Chrissie Watkins…
I wasn’t even alive when this film came out and I’m too scared to go back into the water!
This gets my heart racing every time too — even though I’ve seen the film dozens of times.
