Jaws for the win, although Carpenter's remake is a "thing" of beauty in its own right.

I dearly love "Jaws", but "The Thing" is my favourite film of all time, so...

Since this is the horror section, I went Thing. I probably slightly prefer Jaws overall but that’s because of a lot of the non horror elements. Whereas Thing is pretty much all horror.

I also personally prefer Jaws as well. I remember how you have been a fan of Jaws since long time. There was this member called Chimes and she had started Jaws Quiz. I think either you or Vegas scored very highly in that.
I believe The Thing is more artistic but Jaws is more entertaining.

As a movie I think Jaws is better made, but the Thing is such a neat horror idea--sharks spook me but that shapeshifting creature that absorbs you is scarier.
Hmm, here's a thought, what if the Thing starred Scheider (Macready), Dreyfuss (Fuchs) and Shaw (Blair)?

Jaws. If you remove the shark, the characters are interesting enough.

Jaws does not make my favorites list while the Thing does, but it is because overall the FX and visual experience of the Thing rates higher for me than Jaws (although it may be in my top 100--it just didnt make my top 60). But character wise, the Thing is pretty weak. |

Jaws is the better movie, but I've watched the Thing far more times.

It was a difficult choice for me also and even though I enjoyed both films over the years of course my vote was for - The Thing (1982)   . IMPO - I really think both films would be so excellent to watch on the " big screen " ( either in the cinema or drive-in ) shown together as a double feature and title it - " Humans in Peril With Creatures - A Double Feature " that would be a really fun movie time indeed   . Thanks so much Lebowskidoo for your subject post  . |

Jaws. Didn't really like The Thing, but I'm going to rewatch it soon to see if my opinion changes.
