Amity Island had everything.
Clear skies. Gentle surf. Warm water.
People flocked there every summer.
It was the perfect feeding ground…
JAWS
Saturday July 28, 2012, 2p and 8p only.
Amity was a seaside resort that lived off the summer vacationers. And then one day a great shark began living off the folks of Amity...
In 1974, veteran producers Richard Zanuck and David Brown chose a young 27 year old director to do the impossible: film a feature project on location with a killer shark.
Steven Spielberg was up to the task.
"Courage and stupidity." That's what Spielberg said he was full of when took the assignment. Based on the best-selling novel by the late Peter Benchley, Jaws went on to become an international cinematic sensation, and established a new paradigm for motion picture marketing and distribution.
Starring veteran actors Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw, Jaws heralded the arrival of Richard Dreyfuss as one of the top box-office draws of the 1970s. It went on to be nominated for Best Picture, and won three Academy Awards®, including Best Original Score for John Williams.

Lugosi and Chaney Together!
Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man
1943/Universal
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man is the last of the really good Universal monster features.
Wonderful opening sequence in the graveyard, plenty of atmosphere, typically gorgeous Universal studio sets and it’s famous monsters!
A direct sequel to both The Wolf Man and Ghost of Frankenstein, the plot follows Larry Talbot (played again by Lon Chaney Jr.), the werewolf, who realizes that he can’t die. In order to find inner peace, Maleva, (Maria Ouspenskaya) the gypsy, takes him to find Dr. Frankenstein. Talbot instead finds the Creature (Bela Lugosi), now with Ygor’s brain but severely damaged. When a doctor teams up with Talbot in order to help him, the Wolf Man sadly discovers the doctor’s true intentions.
Along the way the plot includes Lionel Atwill, Ilona Massey, Dwight Frye and Patric Knowles, all of whom contribute topnotch performances.
