Both are good movies. But Jaws is pretty dated and doesn't really have the same effect that it used to.

I still maintain that Sin City is overrated. And I have actually seen and quite enjoy Jaws. So Jaws gets my vote easily in this one.

Sin City.
I like Jaws, but liked it more when I was 10. Like DaveWadding said, it feels quite dated now. However, I do still rate Jaws as the scariest film of all time, simply because the effect it had on people when it came out. |

Every time someone on the internet calls something "overrated" it makes me want to punch them.
Anywho, Jaws is a classic, but Sin City is more my cup of tea. |

I don't think Jaws is dated. It's set in the 70's, but the acting and story still hold up. Also the shark never looks terribly fake. If (when) they remake it now I'm sure it will be CGI and look terrible.

Definitely Jaws for me. Not definitely in like Sin City sucked because I really liked Sin City, but Jaws is so fucking awesome. And if you think it doesn't have the same effect on you anymore it's because you've watched it so many times because it's so fucking awesome.

Also, Quint is still one of the biggest badasses in cinema history.

Japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side, Chief. We was comin' back from the island of Tinian to Leyte... just delivered the bomb. The Hiroshima bomb. Eleven hundred men went into the water. Vessel went down in 12 minutes. Didn't see the first shark for about a half an hour. Tiger. 13-footer. You know how you know that when you're in the water, Chief? You tell by looking from the dorsal to the tail. What we didn't know, was our bomb mission had been so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn't even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, sharks come cruisin', so we formed ourselves into tight groups. You know, it was kinda like old squares in the battle like you see in the calendar named "The Battle of Waterloo" and the idea was: shark comes to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin' and hollerin' and screamin' and sometimes the shark go away... but sometimes he wouldn't go away. Sometimes that shark he looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces. You know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men. I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand. I know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday morning, Chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player. Boatswain's mate. I thought he was asleep. I reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up, down in the water just like a kinda top. Upended. Well, he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon, the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us. He swung in low and he saw us... he was a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper. Anyway, he saw us and he come in low and three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and starts to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened... waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water; 316 men come out and the sharks took the rest, June the 29th, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb.

Don't really see Jaws as a Halloween movie at all.
I usually watch it 3 or 4 times during the summer, and then never during the fall or winter. |
