So, the special effects may not completely stand the test of time . . . however the great thing about Jaws is that the story is so great and creepy you don't need great special effects. The story scares you not the animatronic shark. A real must see movie for movie lovers.

I used to love this film a lot more, but I have seen it way too many times. It is my entire familes favorite film I think, haha. I still respect it though. That's why I put it on my list. Great music and cover art. Good film.

Usually considered the first blockbuster, Jaws was the beginning of a certain director by the name of Steven Spielberg...and thankfully Jaws wasn't the last of him. How Robert Shaw didn't get an Oscar for his performance as Quint, I'll never know. Jaws was also voted in a movie poll (don't remember who did it) as the scariest movie of all time. Although it was a blockbuster, Jaws was nominated for Best Picture. It could've won but there's a very logical argument for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Greatest horror movie of all time. 10/10

It's a good thing that both the novel writer and film screenplay writer was one and the same: PETER BENCHLEY. With SPIELBERG steering the whole production this monumental masterpiece deserved its place in the archives of the classic. Spellbinding and extremely suspenseful. The music takes you to the coldness of the shark-infested waters, and the badass actors grip your heart to beat with theirs. ROY SCHEIDER, RICHARD DREYFUSS, and ROBERT SHAW...they'll take you there.

Sure, it looks dated now, but tell me that if you watch this you don't feel a little less confident about swimming. The score is classic and it has some killer lines. This is what a blockbuster should be.

Not scary, but sometimes fun to watch. The shark looks fake, see this only for its historical value (we owe summer blockbusters to this movie - boy, that?s great...)

Has any movie effected so many people? This movie single handedly made the shark one of man's most terrifying phobias. Classic.
