JAWS is a movie masterpiece, and still a joy to watch.
Premiere
With compelling characters, high-tension storyline, and top-drawer direction, it's as perfect today as when it was released.

Zaki's Corner
...One of the most effective thrillers ever made....One of the remarkable things about the picture is its relatively muted tone...
Chicago Sun-Times
[A] terrific thriller....Perfect film-making.
Uncut
Steven Spielberg was not yet 30 when he directed arguably the greatest scary adventure movie of all time.
Chicago Sun-Times
Jaws is a grisly film, often ugly as sin, which achieves precisely what it set out to accomplish-scare the hell out of you.

Rating: 5/5 --
Sure, the shark looks a tad mechanical. But the film's still a masterpiece of suspenseful story-telling, aided by John Williams' brilliant score, ground out on a tuba.

Product Description:
From the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, Steven Spielberg directed this thrill ride of terror. During the height of beach season, the Massachusetts resort town of Amity Island is terrorized one summer by surprise attacks from a great white shark. Three unlikely partners team up to hunt down the rogue and destroy it: the new chief of police from New York (Roy Scheider), a young university-educated oceanographer (Richard Dreyfuss), and a crusty old-time fisherman (Robert Shaw). The film shoot was notoriously difficult for the young Spielberg, who had directed only one feature film before JAWS. The mechanical shark seldom operated correctly, and Spielberg was frequently forced to create the idea of terror without actually showing the shark. However, after the film premiered it went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time--surpassing THE GODFATHER and becoming the first film to gross more than a hundred million dollars. Composer John Williams created the score to JAWS, which has since become a well-known theme of impending doom. Ron and Valerie Taylor were responsible for filming live sharks in Australia; their sequences were later mixed with footage of the mechanical shark.
