All time Classic - The film that began it all

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 1998)

Jaws quite simply is one of the best movies ever made. Yes the storyline and shark may not be so true to life but these minor items are easily forgotten when you become imminently absorbed in the film. I think the key difference between this film and merely a good film is the atmosphere evoked by Spielberg - We feel for the town , the men going off to battle this beast , their families even the shark. It conjures up all kind of machismo sentiments - Brave men heading out to brave the seas and kill a monster , camaraderie , historical briefings yet this film is not a "guy film"
A classic worth owning.
