Which is better? I re-watched The Man Who Would Be King last night and it is a fine adventure movie. I would still give the edge to Jaws.
shareI have no desire to rewatch The Man because of the ending. Although effectively Jaws ended my love of ocean water skiing it was a great date movie back in the day as I lied about seeing it before.
shareThe Man Who Would Be King is a very good movie, but it has to be Jaws (which makes my all-time top 5).
shareJaws.
shareBOTH GREAT...JAWS IS GREATER.
shareThe Man Who Would Be King - I love ripping yarns and The Man Who Would Be King is one of the best, it's one of those few adaptions that is better than the book, it adds so much more to Kipling’s short story, which wasn’t a joy to read at all.
Caine, Connery and Jaffrey give excellent performances masterfully directed by John Huston, this film has aged well, much like Connery’s next film Robin and Marian.
I pick this just ahead of Jaws, which itself is an amazing film but my love for The Man Who Would Be King outweighs it.
