Robert Shaw playing Quint in Jaws has been one of my favorite performances for a long time. When watching Jaws again the other day it occurred to me that I'd never seen another performance by Shaw. And yes that means that I have unfortunately not seen From Russia, With Love.

What would you recommend I watch next?

This thread can be a general Robert Shaw appreciation thread as well.

Solid Snake

off the top of my head that's the only Shaw performance I've seen.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't seen From Russia, With Love.

I've liked Shaw in most everything I've seen him in. I recommend "The Sting", "Force 10 From Naverone", "The Deep" and heck...even "Swashbuckler". It's a shame that he died so young.

Couple others would be:

Battle of the Bulge
A Man for All Seasons (nominated for Best Supporting Actor)

The Sting is one of the greatest films of all time and I think Robert Shaw pulls off a great performance in it.

Super X

For a good Shaw performance amongst a generally top-notch cast, it's worth checking out Robin and Marion, where he plays the sheriff against an aging, post-Crusades Robin as played by Sean Connery and Marion played by Audrey Hepburn.

I think Jaws and From Russia with Love are his two best roles, but then again, Robert Shaw was great in everything he was in, so I recommend these as well:

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three

The Sting

The Deep

Battle of the Bulge

Black Sunday


(This thread makes me think that I too need to see some more Robert Shaw movies!)

Don't forget Bob Shaw as General Custer in the misunderstood Custer of the West.

OldBoy

this is the only answer, well, not the only answer but a pretty goodie answer.

Levine2001

Either Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 or Black Sunday

JesseCuster

If the astonishing fight was any indication, Shaw's Red Grant was the most dangerous foe James Bond ever ran across. Not a terrible epitaph.

Ash Ketchum

Shaw is great as Henry VIII in A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, but y'all really, really need to see FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, the second greatest James Bond film (after YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE) and one of the greatest films of its genre--ever.

Greg MacGuffin

Another vote for Pelham 1-2-3.

didi-5

The Caretaker
The Hireling
Hamlet at Elsinore (he's Claudius)
The Buccaneers (tv series 1950s)
Swashbuckler
The Luck of Ginger Coffey
Reflection of Fear

and others already mentioned!

Fabulous actor.

Randy Miller III

Another vote for The Sting.

Not until you crawl over here and kiss my foot! Old man.

Hokeyboy

Awww come on, if you haven't seen The Sting or From Russia, With Love... and seen how AWESOME Shaw was in both... you're in Pol Pot territory brother.

THE DEEP performance was a nothing role. With BLACK SUNDAY it was o.k.
To me it's his STING performance as a mob boss and JAWS.

Shaw is in Black Sunday? Man, people keep telling me I have to see this movie and that's one more excellent reason!
