We need a bigger boat
Principally, 'Jaws' is about a huge shark terrorizing a commonly serene coastal town up in the north-eastern United States. After the attacks grow to be more horrifying, repetitive, and was also involving children; a police chief, a somewhat eccentric sailor and a marine biologist set sail to track down the shark. The main difficulty is that they have no idea what they are getting themselves into.
Richard Dreyfuss and Roy Scheider performed outstandingly, but it is Robert Shaw and his representation of the crazy sailor Quint that steals the show. The three characters fail to get along with each other while in the boat, but need each other to survive, since it soon becomes clear that they’ve bitten off a little more than tey can chew, and their lives are at stake

All Time Classic
A classic, one of Spielberg's finest if not his finest work.
A movie I've watched many times in the past on TV or worn out old videotape. This was the first time I've watched it on DVD and can I just say it brought the film back to me the way it should be, with all the chills and thrills. The amazing John Williams score rattling around the Surround Sound, the crystal clear picture, the blues of the water, the crimson red of another Shark Attack. The scene towards the end that has a shot of the boat at night with a Shooting Star rattling across the sky is one of my all time fave moments in movies, the calm before the storm if you will. Then there is the classic opening scene, one of the best in movie history in my opinion for grabbing an audience. Truly superb.
