A memorable film that for it's time was just amazing and is the best horror ever made! Who can take a fish and scare people and make them throw up in the theater and still like it? Spielberg!

Steven Spielberg overcame the lumpy plotting of Peter Benchley's novel to create an efficient, graceful fright machine in Jaws.Full Review

One of the most effective thrillers ever made.Full Review

The first is the best. When it comes to this kind of thriller, no movie has been able to top Jaws, although many have tried. And, as the years go by, it seems increasingly unlikely that anything will come close.Full Review

Robert Shaw [is] absolutely magnificent as a coarse fisherman finally hired to locate the Great White Shark; and Richard Dreyfuss, in another excellent characterization as a likeable young scientist.Full Review
