Still great after all these years!

It's amazing how this movie has held up against time. Roy Schieder is at the top of his game as the beligured cop on an Island. Richard Dreyfuss gives, in my opinion, one of his best performances as the eager sharkoligist Hooper. Robert Shaw, is nothing short of mezmorizing as the salty old shark hunter Quint. As for the Shark....Well, I must say that it is a credit to Steven Spielbergs genius that he wisely choose to save showing the shark until the last act of the movie. Its really the "Lack of what we see" that is the most terrifying. John Williams score will be forever seared into our memories whenever we think of something ominously stalking in the ocean. I never grow tired of this movie and strongly recommend it to future generations. The effects may not have CGI, but "Jaws" proves that what we don't see is far more spooky than what we do see.
