Interesting to see no comments on this. Two of the greatest movies of all time but Apocalypse Now is just too powerful to lose as influential Jaws was to future cinema.
Funnily enough I got this matchup a couple days ago but didn't comment. Anyways, they are a few spots away from each other in my top 40, but I have to go with Jaws for being more consistent. The third act of Apocalypse Now, while still very good, simply can't compare to the perfection of the first two acts. The third act of Jaws is probably the best part of the film for me.
It's Jaws all the way.
I'm going with Apocalypse Now.
Jaws for me.

Got to go with Jaws, although Apocalypse Now is long overdue a rewatch (I only watched it once when I was about 13, and was probably too young and cinematically uninitiated at the time to appreciate it for what it really was).

Jaws is just the better film.

Two legendary 70's films that rank among the best ever. I'm leaning slightly towards Apocalypse Now's side.

Jaws is way better.

Man, these are two locked in classics. I watch them both whenever they come on. I give the slight nod to Coppola's Vietnam epic over the Great White.
Two classic movies. Apocalypse Now is a marvel of filmmaking but Jaws has better characters and is also very thrilling!

Jaws easily gets the edge here...
Apocalypse Now has more depth.
Indeed, deeper than where a shark could ever hope to go.

Jaws is so stupid movie and Apocalypse Now is very great and better than Jaws
How would ever think about Jaws is such a stupid movie somehow it's one of the best classic horrific engaging of all of the century, Apocalypse Now is really good but my most favored type of films are that being sensational outstanding stunning watchability better written stories.

Apocalypse Now is one of the most powerful war movies I've ever watched. But I've found myself going back to Jaws more frequently, and enjoying it more.
