When you say "Blockbuster" in the film sense, you think "Jaws" 'cause without this movie, summer blockbusters wouldn't exist.
Spielberg makes good films. there is no doubt about that. "Jaws" is no different. it's a thrill to see, it's suspensful, it's entertainment value. however like most of his films there's a lack of realism in the characters. they do things that people just wouldn't do. it's hard to...( read more)
For me, this is the still the scariest horror film ever. The mother of all 'Blockbusters' hasn't dated at all, even though the shark doesn't look real, its still terrifying!
"You're gonna need a bigger boat."
When a gigantic great white shark begins to menace the small island community of Amity, a police chief, a marine scientist and grizzled fisherman set out to stop it.

This is the reason why movies from 70s & 80s remain masterpieces....the chills they give you,the terror they cause could never be created by any film of recent times.
kudos to Spielberg for creating the elemnt of fear without showing the shark for most parts of the film & when...( read more)
With more sequels than a porno, I decided to never watch it until this year. Scary movies bore me, and I only watch them to see people die. You know what? I missed out for a long time. This movie is fantastic. No boobies, no corny graveyard scenes, and nothing predictable about t...( read more)
would love mostlly to see a remake growing up in the 80s and ninetys i relyed mostlly on c,g,i knowing mr spielbergs sucsess with jurasic park c,g,i this should be a breeze for him
This is how we made movies in the '70s before STAR WARS. There were characters, dialogue, situation, subtext, score, and FX by stuntmen and people who made physical 3D models. Ironic that Spielberg made the greatest popcorn thriller ever, then helped invent CGI. Guess he really did hate that fake shark.
I have not seen it but I would love to see this movie because it looks good and scary.
beware of the book. as it turns out it is really just an exploitive sex novel, featuring the man-eating shark as a subplot. congrads to Steven for cleaning that up!
love this movie i love all movies about these wight sharks does anybody saw the movie the deep blue sea it's da best
Grew up watching this film, would hide every time the head fell out of the boat though :D Just want to add that that Jaws remake vid is a fake! Even if it is being remade those images are from another film :)
I'm man enough to say I would start screaming like a little girl if I ever saw a great white swimming towards me!
This movie is one of the best movies ever made!!!Making millions afraid to enter the water long after it's release it's an ultimate classic that be plot copied and redone,but will never be matched as on the best movies in the history of Hollywood.
