Jaws (1975)


A shark decides to make an area outside of a small town his hunting grounds during one of the busiest tourist seasons for a nearby small town. The mayor gets fed up and sends the sheriff, a scientist, and an old fisherman to exact revenge on the shark. Their hunt does not go as planned and now they are fighting for their survival in an area where no one will hear you if you call for help.

I loved the movie for what it was. The sheer terror of the swimmers and the graphic violence really blossomed in this movie and violence of this nature was rarely seen before this time. I have a lot of respect for Steven Spielberg for going the distance and showing something that was not looked highly upon in film at this time.

I can see this movie any day of the week and it would never be enough.
