Whoa! What a coincidence. I watched "The Punisher" just yesterday night where he gets shot to death.

R.I.P.! Really liked his as an actor. Even "Sea Quest".

He was great in the first two Jaws, even if part 2 is a bit of a turkey.

I think Jaws 2 is quite good, considering what it is. Some scenes pack a real jolt

I think Eva means Marathon Man...

RIP.

RIP, he was legendary in Jaws. don't think any actor could've suited the role of Chief Brody more.

Yeah, Marathon Man. One terrific thriller.

Never watched Jaws Only seen the first half hour orso, then fell asleep or something I guess.
Also havent really seen any of the other movies he's been in.
I've been avoiding Marathon Man because of the dentist-scene. That kinda stuff would probably creep me out.

Jaws is a fantastic thriller, you should give it a second chance.

Yeah I know. I dont know exactly why I didnt finish watching it. I just caught it on TV, watched for half an hour or something, and started doing/watching something else. Not because I didnt enjoy the movie or something, but yeah, just didnt finish watching it.

You probably weren't in the mood. I find that if I'm doing something else while watching TV. The second half is even better than the first half.
