Official Score = 3 1/2 Devils[/caption]When I was a kid one of the movies that I found that truly terrified me (so much so because my Dad used to take me to the Beach when I was a kid a fair amount), was the movie Jaws (1975)!
I mean this Oscar winning movie terrified the hell out of me because, well lets be honest... When you are 9 or 10, and you just saw your first shark attack on TV, the first thing you want to do afterward is not go to the Beach anymore... Right?
Well the truth is, is as the years went by, I came to really appreciate the awesomeness that truly is this movie!
Besides the fact that this movie had a terrific cast of now legendary actors that included, Roy Scheider (SeaQuest DSV), Robert Shaw (The Sting), Richard Dreyfuss (What About Bob), Lorraine Gray (1941), Murray Hamilton (The Twilight Zone: 'One For The Angels') & Jeffrey Kramer (Halloween 2). This movie also had a truly amazing team that brought this world to life that included: Stephen Speieberg (Saving Private Ryan), Peter Benchley (The Deep) & Carl Gottlieb (The Jerk)... And that is just a few of the people that were attached to it!

Captain Quint (Robert Shaw), Sheriff Brody (Roy Scheider) & Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) as they search for the elusive shark that has been terrorizing there small sea side town![/caption]Another facet of this movie that was a lot of fun, is the story line... What I mean by that is the fact that, this story, beside having an element of terror attached to it, also had some strong character development, and I liked how this horrible situation involving a Great White Shark that is terrorizing a small seaside town, ends up creating a friendship between 3 of the most unlikely candidates to become friends!
And lastly I wanted to say that if you haven't seen it yet, then you should, it is well worth it... And with a couple sequels, and Universal Studios having helped keep this movie alive... It is well worth seeing it at least once for any movie fan!
