Classic Friday : Jaws (1975) 8/10

Starring : Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss
Director : Steven Spielberg
Running Time : 119 mins

Following a series of shark attacks, Police Chief Martin Brody (Scheider) suggests that closing the beach on the small island of Amity would be a wise idea, but the local people need to keep the beach open to make money off their fourth of July celebrations, but as the death toll rises, the community are forced to call in professionals to capture and kill the deadly menace.

An all time classic which made the big budget horror a reality, this has stood the test of time as a truely scary movie. The shark never looked that realistic at the best of times, but that doesn't matter when you consider how well crafted this movie truly is. It's just a shame about the terrible sequels really which have done nothing but sully this movies name.
