had strong praise for a Hollywood classic that will be getting a new streaming home just in time for its big anniversary. While audiences eagerly await news on Tarantino's final movie, the filmmaker continues to show that he is not shy about sharing his own opinions on movies. Sometimes, this can lead to some controversial takes, including Tarantino criticizing Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest. However, he has also shared plenty of love for movies that truly excite him.

Tarantino has always had an eclectic taste in cinema. He has drawn inspiration from foreign movies and filmmakers like Jean-Luc Godard, but he has also praised blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick and even the Toy Story movies. It is that varied view on cinema that led to him offering his intriguing praise of a classic movie, which he notes may not be the best "film" ever made, but that Tarantino sees as the "best movie ever made."

It is hard to believe it has been 50 years since the release of Jaws, and it is even more impressive how relevant the movie has remained over these many years. Still regarded as one of Steven Spielberg's best movies, Tarantino's comments on Jaws reinforce that it also had a major impact on a generation of filmmakers who would go on to try and replicate its sense of thrills, adventure, and strong characters. These aspects help create an experience that can still be rewatched and enjoyed many years later.

Jaws has aged incredibly well over the years and still packs a punch in terms of thrills. While some might see Quentin Tarantino's remarks about Jaws being the best "movie" rather than the best "film" as a back-handed compliment, it actually highlights the lasting appeal of the movie. Jaws came at a time when such projects would be considered B-movies, but Jaws proved that popcorn entertainment could be elevated by a true filmmaker's vision. While we can criticize modern blockbusters in many ways, Jaws pushed the idea of these types of movies actually having a story and emotion beyond thrills.
