(Personally I feel that any movie that features Richard Dreyfus dying is a good movie) The novel is basically a reworking of Moby Dick with Quint as a discount Ahab.

Yep - it’s one of the few books I’ve read where the movie was WAY better than the book. Hooper & Mrs. Brody having an “affair” was totally unnecessary.
(one other was “The Moonspinners” by Mary Stewart but I doubt anyone here, other than me, has ever read that book :P )
