Jaws, like The Godfather, spawned many copycat movies after it. It is unfortunate that The "Jaws" series only contains one good film, the original. I think that they should sell the original by itself and sell the rest of the half-assed Jaws films by themselves. Jaws is certainly one of the most incredible films of all time.
There are few movies that have chemistry of this magnitude. I can't imagine anyone else in the roles played by Scheider, Shaw and Dreyfuss. I think my favorite aspect of the movie was how it resembled Moby Dick in the modern era. You have your politicians worried about the town's economy, the young zealot from the oceanographic institute with all of his high tech gear, and mixed in with the new, you've got Captain Quint: an good old-fashioned fisherman whose got more trophies on his wall than Teddy Roosevelt.
This film has never gotten boring.
