June 21, 201610 yr Not sure what my mom was thinking but i saw this movie in the theater when I was 7. I was so scared of the water after that I stopped taking baths. Shower only from that day forward.
June 21, 201610 yr Quint's soliloquy is one of the great scenes in film. Did I read/hear right that they took it in one take and he basically improved some of it?

Shower only from that day forward. I was 8 and I think I wet my pants when the head popped out of the boat. I was afraid to get in the pool at the YMCA. I kept looking down to see if anything was coming to get me. Great movie. Close to the top of my all time favorites.

Yeah I think he tried one day and was drunk and was horrible at it...then came back sober the next day and did it in one take. He was a great actor and those scenes in the galley really showed how good he could be.
