Jaws
Jaws was one of those films that completely changed an entire generation of moviegoers. The sheer terror that older folks express about the mysteries of the ocean and the dangers of sharks are both unwarranted and surprisingly demonstrative of a positive movie premise done well. Just remember, it's "You're gonna need a bigger boat," not "We're gonna need a bigger boat."
God Told Me To
Larry Cohen was the director of this 1976 mythological whirlwind. It involves an ordinary NYPD officer who begins investigating a series of murders that seem to all have one link: a calling from God to kill. The craziest thing about all of this is that there was a serial killer on the loose at the same time who had a similar story. We're talking about David Berkowitz (the Son of Sam), for your information.
