An Instant classic

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2014)

Steven Spielberg's Jaws is a movie shot with brilliance and filled with Alfred Hitchcock level suspense (which is the only reason why he didn't want to meet his biggest fan which was Spielberg, because he "made the fish movie." That Hitchcock wanted to direct so badly but was already working on his final movie Family Plot (1976) at the time. The movie stars Roy Scheider as New England police chief Martin Brody (played by Roy Scheider) a man who wants to have a good time at the beach until all horror breaks loose because great white sharks are coming ashore to kill people. Then after he realizes what is going on at the beaches he teams up with an oceanographer (played by Richard Dreyfuss), and the captain of a tiny boat (played by Robert Shaw)and set out to kill the shark.The score to this movie is nothing short of fantastic from John Williams as well as being suspenseful and creepy at the same time. Scheider, Shaw, and Dreyfuss are just flawless with their excellent performances in the film.
