![]() ![]() ![]() Now… most of them weren’t directed that well. Gordon Douglas’s Them! He’s going to run and go see. Henry Levin’s Journey to Center of the Earth, he’s gonna run to go and see that. What I meant by that, to one degree or another, is that Spielberg and a lot of his cohorts grew up seeing those kinds of movies in the theater. Later on in the conversation, he explained how spectacles such as this are their own form of art, and how Steven Spielberg came to be someone who perfected it: Putting aside the “movies” versus “films” debate, Quentin Tarantino isn’t using that separation to be a snob. ![]() Strangely enough, Jaws is one of six horror movies to have Best Picture nominations, so the line could blur just a bit in that respect. ![]() Which means that “films” are presumably more of the independent/art house titles that have higher pedigrees, and usually end up on the lists of best picture nominees every year.

And it shows how badly timed most movies made before Jaws were. But as far as a movie, there’s no making it better than Jaws. And then there are other movies that can get in its rarefied air.
