PHOENIX — The movie that drove people from the water during the summer is back for a return scare.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of “Jaws,” the shark thriller is being re-released to certain theaters for limited run.
Fathom Events will present screenings of the classic Sunday and Wednesday at 16 Phoenix-area theaters.
We’re going to chum the waters for you with a peek at five of the movie’s best lines.
If you’ve never seen the Steven Spielberg film (whaaat??), SPOILER ALERTS.
The most famous:
Grizzled shark hunter Quint really got on the other guys’ nerves. He was dismissive and insulting and a know-it-all about sharks, as evidenced by this line:
“Mr. Hooper, I’m not talkin’ about pleasure boatin’ or daily sailin’, I’m talkin’ about workin’ for a livin’, I’m talking about sharkin’!”

Speaking of Matt Hooper, the oceanographer may have been a smarty-pants but he still got on a boat that was chasing a shark then became its prey.
“He ate the light.”

Brody: “I used to hate the water.” Hooper: “I can’t imagine why.”

And finally:
“Smile, you (expletive)…”
