Astronotus ocellatus 

aka Oscar fish

What is an Oscar? In this case, we're not talking about the academy award or that grumpy green thing that pops out of a trash can and freaks out a bunch of kids. No, the Oscar we're referring to here is the Oscar fish, a member of the cichlid family that also goes by the name of Astronotus ocellatus.

Top Ten "Fish" Movies 

Guaranteed to lure you

This top ten list is incomplete. I could only think of eight movies having to do with fish in some way. I need some of you to come up with the other two. The movie has to be fish related. That could mean it has the word "fish" in the title or has at least one memorable scene featuring a fish or anything remotely related to a fish. Don't forget to also vote for your favourite movie by clicking on the up arrow of your preferred choice. You can also vote down your least favourite by clicking on the down arrow. I'll also consider knocking off one or more of the current eight if I get more than two great submissions. See what you can reel in!

In the vastly overrated 1998 book Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, author Peter Biskind puts the blame for Hollywood's blockbuster mentality at least partially on Steven Spielberg's box-office success with this adaptation of Peter Benchley's bestselling novel. But you can't blame Spielberg for making a terrific movie, which Jaws definitely is. The story of a Long Island town whose summer tourist business is suddenly threatened by great-white-shark attacks on humans bypasses the potboiler trappings of....1 point

Roger Corman produced this shameless Jaws rip-off at the height of the "nature gone wild" boom of American cinema and struck B-movie gold. Scripted by John Sayles and directed by Joe Dante, this tongue-in-cheek thriller stars Bradford Dillman (doing his best Rip Torn impression) as an antisocial mountain man and Heather Menzies as a rookie detective who race a school of mutant piranha downriver.

The second of Francis Ford Coppola's films based on the popular juvenile novels of S.E. Hinton (the first being The Outsiders), Rumble Fish split critics into opposite camps: those who admired the film for its heavily stylized indulgence, and those who hated it for the very same reason. Whatever the response, it's clearly the work of a maverick director who isn't afraid to push the limits of his innovative talent. Filmed almost entirely in black and white with an occasional dash of color for sym...0 points
