HM pays its respects to star
Roy Scheider, who died yesterday age 75. Not only was he the star of 'Jaws', the first film to gross over $100m, but he also received two Oscar nominations - for Best Supporting Actor in 'The French Connection' and Best Actor for in 'All That Jazz'.
Scheider's line, as police chief Martin Brody, when he sees the shark for the first time, "You're gonna need a bigger boat," is a classic and voted No. 35 on the American Film Institute's list of best quotes from U.S. movies. And that's voted for by old people who think Judy Garland is interesting. (

And to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Jaws in 2005, the residents of Martha's Vineyard, the location for the film, had a massive party called JawsFest. Doubt anyone wore 3-D specs, or mentioned Michael Caine as 'Hoagie' in the truly cack 'Jaws 4' though.
Here's how he'll be remembered.
You're going to need a bigger boat
Brody kills Jaws
Now no one can claim not to know how to kill a shark - looks pretty easy huh!
