A rollercoaster ride with a great cast.A rocket ride launched by Steven Spielberg himself.

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2000)

"Jaws" is simply the kind of film that wraps around us,making us at times feel vulnerable and at times,hyped up with fear and excitement.A movie with hardly any special effects(Oh, yeah!There was the mechanical shark that was built by production designer Joe Alves.)The film which was adapted by Peter Benchley's best selling novel delivers to the fullest and 'till this day,is still considered one of the best films ever made and was the first to break the one hundred million dollar mark,creating the box office trend.Roy Scheider is Chief Brody who must save a community from the savage undersea killer.Roy Scheider could probably be called the first Sigourney Weaver.Teaming up with Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw,The movie becomes so tense that at times we forget that this is just a movie.Winner of three academy awards including John William's superb heart pounding classic score,"Jaws" was the "Jurassic Park" of 1975."Jaws" could use a theatrical rerelease.Even though a 25th anniversary edition was released on VHS and DVD,we would think that Universal would have the sense to rerelease this film to a new generation.They already rereleased "The Exorcist" and they are also thinking of rereleasing "Superman:The Movie"."E.T.:The Extra Terrestrial" already has a target rerelease date for March,2002.So why not "Jaws".I would love to see a rerelease of "Jaws",even though I have seen the film over a million times.Steven Spielberg should have been recognized by the academy for directing this classic."Jaws" took a big bite out of our wallets and was well worth it."Jaws" is definitely one of the most memorable films ever made.
