JAWS HAS THE KING OF ALL MOVIE QUOTES

Jaws has the King of all movie quotes - the Stephen King of all movie quotes, that is. The world famous horror author named a line from Jaws as his joint favourite movie line.

And the best-selling author of Carrie, The Dead Zone, Pet Semetary, Salem's Lot and The Stand knows a thing or two about writing, after all he has sold an estimated 350 million books.

So, what was his favourite line? It was of course: "You're gonna need a bigger boat."

Here's the behind the scenes story about just how that Chief Brody quote came about: "YOU'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT": THE STORY BEHIND THE ICONIC LINE

King has mentioned that line over the last couple of years, alongside lines from both Casablanca and Aliens.

Not that King is any stranger to the horror elements of Jaws, as Pennywise the clown even turned into the shark from the film in the book version of IT!.

And, even King's son, author Joe Hill, has got in on the Jaws act, suggesting that the unsolved Lady of the Dunes murder has links to an extra in the Steven Spielberg film: JAWS AND ORDER
