One of the finest movies ever made. The plot, actors, character development, suspense, movie soundtrack, etc…are 2nd to none. I cannot help but watch this movie whenever it is on.

The audience would have had their first jump scare if Hendricks found Chrissy's body as it was described in the novel.  He pulled aside a clump of seaweed to reveal the upper portion of her body; face agape, breast flattened like a pressed flower and a portion of her arm in her socket.  I braced to see this in 1975 when the movie was released and when that didn't happen, I relaxed.  Then Ben Gardner's head popped out of the hull in his boat and I, and the rest of the theatre, jumped in our seats.

Other shark films are just slasher films in the water.  This is Jaws.

Spielberg had such a way with family interactions in his run between the 70s and 80s. The dialogue, the actors' delivery and movement, the placement of the camera - everything felt natural. You were learning about the characters through subtleties without them launching into a monologue about their childhood.

They say that great films are made three times. First in the writing, then the lensing, and finally the editing.  This film scored big in all three.

One of the rare occasions where the movie was better than the book.  The book was downright depressing.  The town was dying, the mayor was into the mob for big bucks, the mayors wife was off in the head, the Brody marriage was a mess, Hooper bangs the chiefs wife & the shark kills him…and Quint was even more certifiable than he was in the movie.

Gawd.  Those scenes of a mid-70s America.  That would be a good place to transport away to, eh?

Always get flashbacks to the rusty deathtrap swings and slides everyone had in the 70s 😂

So sad this movie is 50 years old!  Where did time go?

One of the visual elements I always liked was how Spielberg used fences and gates to resemble teeth.  This film is an absolute classic and in my opinion Spielberg’s best film. It was made before he became predictable and formulaic and obsessed with making family friendly films. Back then he was a risk taker and a pioneer.

I met Roy in NY ages ago. He was such a funny and self-deprecating dude.

Rest in paradise.

This movie is a classic and will always hold its own. Please dont ever try to remake this movie.

“They’re in the YAAAAAAAADDDDDD not to FAAAAAAA from the CAAAAAAAA. How’s that?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ive seen Jaws at least 500 times since 1975 when i first saw it at a drive-in in Enterprise Alabama when i was 8 years old. My FAVORITE movie of all time.

This was the first summer blockbuster. You would not believe how many people were afraid to step into the ocean for a long time after this movie.

My absolute favorite movie!  For anyone wanting to see this again on the big screen; this year is the 50th Anniversary (2025) and it will be in theatres in August.  Can't wait!!!

What a sweet truck Chief Brody's got!

One of the best movies ever made!

One of the great films of any decade.  Editing is one of the great rarely acknowledged cinematic arts.
Sometimes, less is more and the skill comes from knowing when that applies.  DVD has the advantage
of including the edits so that film buffs can see that skill at work.

Seen it a million times but still enjoy the movie 🦈🍿
