Amity Island had everything. Clear skies. Gentle surf. Warm water. People flocked there every summer. It was the perfect feeding ground.

"Jaws" is arguably one of the top 100 greatest films! It has drama, solid acting (especially R Shaw), great music, and humor. How can anyone NOT appreciate it?!

I just saw it for the first time. I thought it was a lot of fun. Steven Spielberg has a charm about him that few directors have.

Jurassic Park is better than that, tho Raiders is one I have to rewatch, but I'm confident it's not topping Jurassic Park

Possibly the greatest movie of all time. With T2, Citizen Kane, Aliens etc., And my favorite movie. Nothing can beat this, it’s beyond a masterpiece. Everything in the film works. The 3 main characters, music, acting, cinematography, and practical effects. Love to bits.

Ok, I know I will get hate comments for this but I find this film and Alien to be some of the most overrated films I have ever seen. Neither of them are terrible but they are almost always ranked so high around films in general let alone just horror films. Ok, so Jaws is not really horror but mostly action animal film. Alien is horror mixed with sci-fi and I just do not get the appeal of a monster in space. Honestly. I found it to be more gross than scary.

Never found Alien to be good, but I consider Blade Runner a giant masterpiece, i dont see the appeal at all in Alien and Aliens, just boring

Excellent film and one of my new favourites from Spielberg! Great characters, script, story and score, and the final act is brilliant and suspenseful. Although, after watching Alien and this for the first time in a short space of time I did enjoy Alien more

John Williams' soundtrack is menacing and unforgettable.

This is what modern horror movies are missing. Suspense and well developed characters
