Jaws

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2006)

This is one of my all time favorite movies. I think Spielberg did a great job of directing this movie especially with the special effects available in the 70's. This was the first movie to reach $100 million dollars and if it came out today it would have made a lot more. Jaws is an excellent movie that includes a wonderful cast of characters. Robert Shaw was awesome portraying the character of Quint. It is also neat to see a young Richard Dreyfuss play the geeky marine biologist. Roy Scheiner was good in both Jaws and Jaws 2. A scary scene for me in this movie is when Quint tells his story of the sailors on the U.S.S. Independence being eaten by sharks. Another scary scene is when Jaws raises the boat up and Quint slides into his mouth. This is a movie that I have seen over twenty times and every time it comes on TV I still watch it. Finally the music used in this movie is still recognized in today's society.
