Jaws (or Jaw'd, how Larry Siegel/Mort Drucker called it on their great MAD film spoof).

Love that movie and the performances from Scheider/Dreyfuss/Shaw.

Pretty easy one for me, going with the general consensus I am saying Jurassic Park. I recognise Jaws as a great film but it's not my kind of film, and while E.T. is enjoyable I don't believe it is worth the kind of praise it gets.

I expect Jurassic Park to win this easily.


It's got the most effects, by far the weakest script, uneven characterisation and relies on extended action seqences.  It does have great dinosaurs.

 

Jaws and ET are two well written films marked by unusually deep characterization and performances for their respective genres and are both far better films overall.

 

Yup.  Jurrasic Park will win.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

Jurassic Park by a million miles.

Sharks are cool and Aliens are awesome, but you can't fuck with Dinosaurs man.

Jaws. Love that movie. The other two are good as well, though.



If we're going by games, then Jurassic Park hands down.

If we're going by movies... gotta give the edge to E.T.

Jaws easily. A true classic and one of Spielberg's best even today, over three decades later.



Jurassic Park had the best special effects out of the three but to me E.T. was the most enjoyable liked it since I was a kid back in 1982. Saw both E.T. and Jurassic Park on the big screen. The most significant of the three is Jaws though hands down it launched the begging of summer blockbusters.



Jurassic Park!!

And it aged so amazingly well!
