Jaws

Director Steven Spielberg delivered a knockout with this thriller that changed his career and Hollywood while driving the masses away from the beaches. The story of a white shark that terrorizes a small island and forces the police chief to confront his worst fear. Spielberg hits all the right notes from the beginning till the end. Roy Scheider stars but it's Robert Shaw who steals the scenes. John Williams score takes the tension to new heights. While the effects seem dated, the film holds up pretty well.
