"Deep Blue Sea" released 1999


One of my favorites Deep Blue Sea, a shark thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson, opened July 28, 1999.  It is proof that a black guy can survive a horror movie.  That was L.L. Cool J, not Jackson, who had one of the most surprising deaths in the film.

It was a breakout role for Thomas Jane.  Director Reny Harlin had directed Cutthroat Island just a few years before.

Although it received mostly lukewarm reviews when it opened, Deep Blue Sea is considered one of the best shark movies of all time.
