Jaws? Wossat?
As you're saying "what's Jaws", I'm afraid I have to respond with;
"I'll have a pint of lager, cheers" 
Groan.
Inevitably! 
Are you really a lager drinker, or was that for comedic effect?
Guilty as charged mate. And to add to the shame, I like American beers!
I do like guiness and also I always have a local bitter if I ever go anywehre new in the UK. But sorry to admit, I'm a Budweiser man mainly. My favorite beer is actually Michelob but that is almost impossible to find here in Essex.
You look like the sort of chap who likes real ale. Must be the beard!
I'm an indifferent and indiscriminating drinker, to be honest. I like Asahi Dry and I enjoy Michelob too, but I don't drink enough of anything to claim to be a "insert name of drink here-man". I like Brew Dog's IPA and used to enjoy half-and-half but you can't get that anymore, it seems. Beer's all too strong nowadays - hence alot of the social problems arising from it. I'll also very occasionally have a snifter of Vodka, Southern Comfort, JD, rum and ginger - owt really. Not all together, obviously. At least, it's obvious to me. And recently we've discovered White Zinfandel, a delicious rose wine, and which I believe is a Californian grape. But I have "poor and unhappy brains for drinking".
And don't be fooled by the beard - I don't have the sandals or the scratchy jumper of a Camra-man.
Anyway, I've resolved to hunt out 1941 as a result of this thread, so I'll be able to contribute knowledgably in future.

Gee, they'll call anyhing a "classic" nowadays . . .
Friday night at 10pm Turner Classic Movies airs Spielberg's "1941":

I guess the only reason to catch it is if you don't already have a tape of the shorter theatrical cut in the letterbox format.

Cinematography was one of this film's three Oscar nominations (along with visual effects and sound).

Anyone know why the photography is so *hazy* looking in this film?
I thought it was atmospheric so the numerous miniature scenes would blend in better? They used the "smoke room" (?) a lot back then to defuse light and give model work a sense of scale.
Holy shit, Herb, solium is right (sorry, solium, I couln't resist) but that is indeed what I read in American Cinematographer years ago. For some reason, I forget why, they started filming the miniatures first, before the live-action, and Bill Fraker smoked up the stages and used heavy diffusion to help hide the wires on the model panes and sell the sense of scale, as solium stated; then they carried that over into the main production shoot to make the photography match.
The movie is long overdue a good quality hi-def remastering, but it's definitely a film with a cult appeal.
