What turned Mr Spielberg into one of the greatest directors of all time...

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2011)

Before E.T,Raiders of the lost ark and Minority report comes Jaws...not only Steven Spielbergs first blockbuster but the very first blockbuster to have existed on this earth today...
Some young viewers may be put off by how old this film is (its 36 years old this year... and the shark is not cgi) but for those of you who like modern Spielberg flicks (Indy 4,Minority report etc.) should give this a go. I'll promise you'll like it :) Jaws also won 3 Oscars for Best music,Best editing and Best sound... and was also nominated for Best picture.This is a movie that has tension that the sequels cannot possibly live up to...
for the rest of the 70's Spielberg did mainly sci-fi blockbusters-and in the 80's,90's and 00's Spielberg balanced his blockbusters (Raiders of the lost ark,Jurassic park,Minority report etc.) with some more mature works (Schindler list,Saving private ryan,Munich etc.) so if you never seen any Spielberg films... i recommend you start here.
