A rare example of A perfect movie.
As if!! It's completely boring with nothing happening then the ending with the shark looks so fake! Very overated movie.
@@DavidMander-rs4uknot for its time. This type of film hadn't been done before.
@@DavidMander-rs4uk you're face looks overrated & fake looking
I saw jaws with my cousin when it first came out and turning 64 soon and still watching jaws till this day and I must say jaws will always be my favorite movie.
Movie's that were made in the 1970's..are still remembered. Let's not forgot about the television shows and music. ❤🎉
After 46 years, still the best film ever.
I read the Peter Benchley book JAWS before seeing the movie and after 46 years this is still one of the most memorable films 🎥.
A timeless classic definitely lightening in a bottle
Absolutely 👍🏻
I would say yes at the theater first time
It belongs in the same category with Godfather, Star Wars, Raiders Of the lost Ark and Shawshank Redemption. Classics!
Steven the best director in the world👑
Such a great film.. In my Top ten of all time
Perfect script. Cinematography. Film editing. Performances. Tone. Musical score. Direction. I’ve learned so much about filmmaking from watching Jaws. Spielberg truly used classical storytelling techniques and fused them with his own style. It’s a perfect damn movie. Just perfection!!!
Why isn't there a movie about the making of Jaws, it'd be epic!
That producer guy wasn't joking. I had to get that epic score out of my head long enough to use the toilet! I was too scared to pee! 😅
Same here
Me too! Or take a bath
SS went on to make Close Encounters and ET all within a few years...unbelievable. I have JAWS on DVD and I still rent it on my laptop (from youtube) when I am bored....Probably my #1 pick of all time.
The first time I saw Jaws was in the back of this produce market in Kansas City which was about as close to Vegas as the Midwestern bosses could get without getting themselves arrested. I mean, no one even knew. One guy even made his mother do all the cooking.
Love this movie ❤❤
Oh my the video quality is shocking. Any chance of improving?
The name of the mechanical shark was Bruce. 🦈
Could you have found a worse copy?
Bad Quality.
Big-budget, monster B-movie. Clichés, but on a grand scale
This is unwatchable, the quality is terrible.
Did you watch it ?
What a cast , Robert shaw was incredible & they kept his brilliant speech in about the bomb being delivered which is based on true events
How Robert Shaw wasn’t nominated for an Oscar is beyond me.
Because it's a horror movie
@@MLawrence-z9k sadly. You may be correct
@@douglaperry2041 sadly I am correct 😔
I was always fascinated with the making of the movie Jaws
Same.its Incredible what these guys went through and did together.all the screw ups, budget,anxiety,conditions,on the fly script, last minutes story changes, the coincidences(Ron and valery Taylor recording the shark attacking the cage)causing Hooper to end up living. Man just too many things, the making of is just as great if not better than the movie itself.
Yes, and in JAWS 2 I got interested in boats lol 😂 and I still don't go out far in the water, and I live in Europe. Our biggest shark is the basking shark and we sometimes have blue sharks, hammerheads n makos
Watch the dvd one from 2001 really interesting
Still one of the best films ever made
This was my favorite movie of all time I seen it 14 times in the movie theater.now my favorite is Casino
Got that right please no remake(stop doing remakes of anything for that matter) it would just suck so bad you can't recapture the camp of it now it would be all CGI and I hate CGI and green screen.
It's a classic and will always be 1 of my favorite movies of all time 🙏
@@daviddoyle8956 A remake of Jaws would be absurd its just 1 of those once in a lifetime movies that created magic that can never be recaptured in any way shape or form.
@@stevenhernandez2897 I never said anything about making a remake. In fact I hate remakes Jaws should be left alone. I also love the old campy movies
It blew this 11 Y-O away in '75. And it's still top of my list in '21
Same here. I was 11 also seeing Jaws with my big sister and her boyfriend. To bad they don't make movies like that anymore. The 70s was the best decade for that.
Yes. Steven Spielberg did one of the Greatest job's of his Era. This film,,just does something to a viewer. You never get tired of seeing it.
Robert Shaw - amazing actor. One of the best.
One of those movies that if you come across it while you're scrolling through the TV channels you stop and just have to watch no matter what part its at...at least for a little while
so true man!!! You described it well,only a selected few flicks have this power to capture you,even though you've seen it many times before...
Peter Benchley is right when he said kids who watched this movie were inspired to become marine biologist. I was one of those kids. The summer of 88 is when I first watched Jaws and asked my mom to take me to the library so I could read books on sharks! I read all summer long and did end up going to college for a minor in marine biology!
Good for you. I was mad about sharks in the late 70s and 1980s too but sadly I didn't get to be a marine biologist. Im glad for you that you did 👍.
Jaws is a true classic. I loved the first two jaws movies. Jaws 3 & 4 l try to forget about. Coz they where just…..Awful.
But the first 2 jaws movies….especially the first movie. It was true classic.
💯 agreed!
I could watch it a million times never gets old one time I watched it and saw a shooting star in the background ! Richard Dreyfus is such a cutie too
When Robert Shaw was standing on the bow holding his rifle that's when I saw the shooting star
A film that became a legend. One of my most re watched movies.
I agree,,I may have seen this film.. probably 15 times in my lifetime..❤🎉
Proud of our British actor late Robert Shaw
Quint is my favorite character in this film. Even as a kid when I first watched it 40 years ago.
Plus he added the talk about the bomb delivery with men killed by sharks which is based on true events , it wasn’t in the script , yet he just improvised the scene & it’s the best part
@@elliemccarthy3487 yes he did.
The USS Indianapolis?
@@elliemccarthy3487 USS Indianapolis you are talking about that???
I watch Jaws every time its on. Seeing this movie as a kid scared the crap out of me. My family would rent a place off cape cod and I would sail a small sunfish sailboat untill I saw this movie. LOL..
Thank you for this. One of my top 5 favourite movies of all time. Along with Halloween (1978), The Thing (1982), The Shining (1980) and The Evil Dead (1981).
Yes everyone remembers watching 'Jaws' for the first time. A true masterpiece, perfection.
Please no remakes, reboots, prequels whatever they try to pass off, these awful carbon copies from.
The one where Brody’s wife was sure “jaws” was out to get her family lol 😂
@@bearbear4030
The 4th instalment of the franchise.
Nothing compares to the the classic, original movie, nothing will.
What was the point of 'Psycho (2020')?
I will maybe go and watch 'Freaks (1932)'
A dooming cash in franchise films to follow. A trend of the times: Texas Chainsaw, Psycho, Halloween, Friday 13th,Amytiville etc
We have the exact same movie tastes 🙂
Susan Backlinie (Christie Watkins) was never injured during her death scene in the beginning of the film.
This is an urban legend.
This is true. As there is another Jaws documentary. And she never said she was hurt.
One of the best things they did in this opening scene was not seeing the shark. It heightened the fear of what's beneath the water.
This movie changed how i saw the ocean forever as a kid. When you're small you do not think about all of the living creatures swimming in the ocean around you...as an adult i have huge respect for the ocean and all of it's inhabitants...and am still fascinated by the ocean to this day.
Perhaps the greatest all around film in history. Complete in every way, and still holds up to this day. The fear lives on.
I was 7 years old when I watched it.
After I thought the damn thing was under my bed. 😂
Me too! I was about the same age and used to think it was under my bed or inside the closet 😂
The music got me lol,I was 10’when I went to see it in the theater and I was scared shitless
@@BullseyeForever24 as Spielberg said, "I believe if it wasn't for that music score, the movie would have been average".
Daa daan, daaa daan, da da da da da daa daan.
Every swimming pool I have ever been in since watching JAWS, I've thought there could be a Great White in there
@@bsaunders5271 😂
Mixed feelings about the novel yet LOVE the film one of the best ever made ...
The characters in the book are all horrible. You don't care about any of them. Hooper is a jerk. Quint is completely crazy and Brody is useless. The movie changed all of that. The kernel of the story in the novel is amazing. The shark hunt is fabulously written but the characters have nothing likeable about them.
roquefortfiles
I agree. I also feel the same way about the book Dracula. The idea is great but the characters and the padding are mediocre. Dracula has a good beginning and decent, if rushed, end but the middle of it (i. e the majority of it) is tedious, it drags on and is overly melodramatic.
It isn’t that different, I preferred that Hooper got eaten in the book and Brody shot his lifeless body. What a scene that might have been! Quint’s death in the book is possibly better? And I sure as hell think they should have gone back to port without Hooper and sailed again with only the Chief and Quint as written. As for the affair, hmm unsure. With the omission of the Mafia, we still have a feel of it with the town council anyways!
It's not a miracle that there's no better shark movie.
There is a better shark movie:
The Shallows
Should never be re-made EVER...because it works so well because of the trouble they had filming it....and that can never be reproduced.
Exactly
Agree
Spielberg' knows how to make a movie l was eleven years old that summer l remember how big it was l wasn't allowed to see it ( parents) so when l finally saw it ten years later l was hooked l could watch it a hundred times in a row they should run it on the big screen again great movie really stands the test of time
Greatest movie of all time.
Well I have to say godfather is my favorite but jaws definitely top 10 of all time
not quite...but a great film.
Hardly!! It's totally overated.
@DavidMander-rs4uk no it isn't.
When I went to see this film at the theatre in Australia, I went with a friend, he was an army man. Sitting there I looked when the girl got attacked first and I thought he was going red and nearly passed out in the chair. When the head came out of the boat when Hooper pulled the tooth , my friend was under his seat! This is one of the greatest ( and scariest) films ever made and cast !
Nice descriptions of your friend's experience ".. 🔹😂🔹😂🔹
I was 15 when it came out. Still one of the best movies of all time. Spielberg was right about John Williams's iconic music. The whole thing was genius.
I have never seen a movie documentary that is so incredibly specific of how it was made and it's impact. Absolutely attention grabbing. I was glued watching this. Found this by accident. Have seen this film many times. Have the same reactions mentioned. Thanks utube.
There will never be anything like this again. In terms of an art form, this is the pinnacle.
I agree with you this movie was way before it's time
Very true. The mold was broken.
After seeing this movie, I was scared to go into a swimming pool,,,
I was afraid to wash dishes..
Ya, mom didn't go for that one either...🤔
Fairly sure I still have this on VHS somewhere!
I’m looking at my original copy sitting on my shelf next to my original vhs recorder lol I’m 53 years old! I’ll never depart with my collection!
I have 1,2 on VHS but want to get it on DVD. I like the extras lol
Brilliant cast! Great movie! Well done!
I love this movie not only for itself but for the making of it which to me is one of the finest examples of movie magic and "univer's synchronicities" (even all it's problems) working together to create a piece of pop culture that lasts forever
I saw this masterpiece the first day I was on vacation at the beach. Needless to say the rest of the time I stayed at the pool. lol (still a little shakey)
😂😂 I was 10 yrs old in '75 when I saw this at the movies, never gone above the knees since.
I am a security guard for motion pictures, tv shows, movies, commercials, and music videos.
This August 16, 2021, marks five years doing so.
But! I wish I was a security guard when Jaws was in production! Oh! How I would have wanted to guard then!
July 26 1974, I turned sixteen. I think the filming of Jaws began in August 1974. I was too young to enter the work force then.
Started in may of 74
I was 8 years old when I saw this film my life has never been the same
Where you afraid to go into the water "?? 🔹🌊💦💧💦___water".??
Such a great documentary
For me it had all the elements pretty ocean views etc although I’m in Australia the land of the great white I really liked Martha’s Vineyard scenery!
I never get tired of watching this movie it’s my most favorite movie ever 💙💙💙🦈🦈🦈🦈
It's probably hard for anyone under the age of 60 or so to understand the phenomenon this film was in the summer of 1975. It owned the summer, with oeople lining up for blocks sometimes at theatres. It continued pretty much into the fall of that year.
I here because I'm watching Jaws 2🦈 now..watched Jaws 1 🦈 the other day
I once heard somewhere, that Charlton Heston wanted the role of Martin Brody so desperately, that he was willing to take the part for union scale. But Spielberg turned him down, because he wanted someone less popular for the role.
And Scheider was perfect
@@bsaunders5271 Very true. I cannot now imagine anyone else in the role. Just relating a fun fact.
I think Heston could’ve made a great Quint. Shaw is perfect, though, so it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the role.
More frail he said, more human
@@Strangensteinhe said that the shark would have had no chance with Heston as Quint. Still love Chuck tho, a titan of cinema
Love that! I got sloshed but Robert Shaw got bettter! Keep on drinking! Lol!
I did give up going in the ocean after I saw the movie. After you realize your dinner to everything in the ocean not just sharks. You learn your not at the top of the food chain. By the time you grow up watching nature films which are meant to be enjoyed, you realize your not safe on land either. Someone famous once said on the silver screen, “ A man’s got to know his limitations.” Jaws reminds you
Clint Eastwood!
Pretty sure this is from the 20th anniversary VHS release. Lee Fierro passed away recently
Quint would have had to live if Lee Marvin had played the character.
I was at a double drive-in in Fresno with girlfriends watching some stupid chick flick when this came out. I was looking out the back window watching Jaws (without sound) and it scared the crap out of me! I'm a water baby from Los Angeles who grew up spending a LOT of time in the ocean during the 60s and 70s. I have to admit that after I saw Jaws I really couldn't bring myself to go back in anymore. Powerful. Same as if I was taking a shower and happened to think of Psycho I'd have to turn the water off and get out of the tub. Amazing films.
I was so shocked 😱when i saw the movie as a child, i begged my Dad, a passionate sailor and diver, to stay out of the water forevermore. Then i read all books about sharks i could get. Especially those written by Hans Hass💙🦈🌊. It has Helped a lot to understand that sharks are no monsters. I love sharks as much as i love the sea. I watched Jaws a hundred times and read the novels just as often. 😊
Saw it aa an 11 yeae old in 75. I remember seeing the move poster image in the papers gobbling up all other box office hits and stayijg in the theatre for months and months. Pre interner and box office mojo, you had to know it was making an impact. Whole generations of people afraid to go in the water and thousands of Sharks killed as a result. What a film, just watched it again. I think the shark holds up, even though you know its fake it works.
Im currently having an Australian One sheet poster restored in London cant wait. As the poster is my 2nd fav next to Star Wars in design. So effective...modern movie posters are terrible unless they go for art design not actors faces-photos BS.
My most watched film, Speilburg never got better than this. Not even Saving Private Ryan can beat Jaws. Peefection in everything and so glad he did not do a George Lucas and update with CGI
It is astounding to think sharks have managed to survive so many millions of years. I mean they are probably as close to prehistoric as any other living creature for us to recognize
I must admit I was 14 when jaws came out and for a while if I went to the sea that bloody film would be on my mind wondering if a shark was in the cold waters of the North Sea off coast of Scotland 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
When I was a kid I had a baby tiger shark I think ? swim around my legs a few times in the shallows and that was definitely surreal and a little scary lol but I still kept going in🙏✝️
The making of is just as great if not better than the film itself. Such an incredible story.
Propably my favourite movie. At least in the top three, together with E.T and Close encounters of third kind.
The shark isn't working. The shark is broken!
I was a child when I saw it on TV and it scared the hell out of me. I still wait for the jump scare shot when the head comes out of the crack of the boat. My parents could not get me into the water. At swimming lessons in the shallow end there was cartoons and one was a shark the swimming teachers could not get me into the water no matter how they tried my parents even explained it was only a painting I still would not go in. The imagination of a child for you lol!! the thing is I'm the same age as the movie lol! little people? there midgets bottom line.
Spielberg is such a dirty liar.... so you cast Lorraine Gary because of a TV movie called 'The Marcus Nelson murders?' you sure it wasn't your insurance policy to cast the wife of the president of Universal Studios....
I was still in junior school when I saw it with my mum and dad , queued round the block and got the last few seats right at the front and nearly died of fright. It changed me for life , I’m still terrified of being in the sea and what possibly lurks beneath. The most convincing shark film I’ve seen since is the Reef which is very uncomfortable to watch too
You're going to need a bigger boat.
*comic book guy voice* Best.. movie.. ever.
If you look at the Fourth Of July scene where kids were splashing in the water. You can see water on lens of the camera.
Fantastic documentary 👏
On a par with the movie itself !
Greatest movie making talent ever amassed, for a truly groundbreaking film.
Despite all the problems encountered ! It's just.......
RIP ALL the members who have since passed on ❤
The timing was just right--a big shark like that had NEVER been seen on the big screen before. A REAL shark attack helped the movie's marketing too!
Jaws just works on so many levels. It captures not only the horror, but also the thrill of the adventure. No BS, just a great story with great characters, with a simple but incredible soundtrack. Today it would be overdone with special effects and pointless jump-scares. Like the original Halloween, the limitations of the time added to the magic as it fueled the imagination.
You see all these actors win Oscars for best actor in a motion picture and then you see Robert Shaw in Jaws and think, who could’ve possibly done a better job acting that year then him!? My answer is nobody. One of the greatest actors of our time!
In the book, Hooper and Chief Brody's wife had a torrid onetime thing! Her attraction to Hooper in the film was obvious in the dinner scene at Brody's house.
The only thing wrong with JAWS is it's not the Great White sharks When people are getting bit or disappearing at least in SoCal Bull and Tigers are the most vicious ruthless predators in most parts of the world your not to blame for the attacks on us just gave the the K word to the wrong shark! But the whole point was you put the fear of JAWS in every country the whole world has seen Jaws at least once or heard bout it and are terrified to go deep!😂❤🎉😅
I remember when I first saw Jaws. It was at the Greenbrier Mall near the Atlanta Airport, and I was with fellow students in the master's program in psychology at West Georgia College.
The seven o'clock show was sold out, and the line for the next showing was already long. We got in the line and waited. By the time we entered the theater, there were no seats together, so we all found our separate seats. I ended up sitting next to a very attractive young woman. About five minutes into the movie, she grabbed my leg and didn't let go until the end of the movie. I was so engrossed in the movie that I hardly noticed.
Okay, this is gonna sound stupid, but Steven Spielberg had the most gorgeous wavy hair! Poor guys; they usually lose that wave as they get older. 😭
On a more relevant topic, that darn epic score still keeps me away from water, immediately after I see the movie. Heaven help me if I need to go to the bathroom!
I *THINK* I know why the first potential director thought the shark was a whale. It may have had to do with the opening description of "the great fish" which is the description of the "whale" in the Bible. Just sayin'.
I always thought that the promotional tagline for this film should have been: "Jaws. Make sure you see it.....before it sees you." But nobody ever asked me.
I saw jaws at a theater opposite the ocean, I know when I came out, I looked across at the ocean, and vowed I would never go in the water again, to this day, I never have
The only thing, they got wrong in jaws 2 is the scene where the shark kills an Orca! 😂 In reality that would never happen since the Orca's are the real Apex Predators of the sea!
It was a bad night..Parents would not take me to see this,and i broke a Polaroid "One Step"camera throwing a Nerf ball around..Best times!
I became an offshore fishing guide and treasure hunter because of this movie.
...and been lost at sea... Twice.
The restored version and documentary about it was great.
Budget 9 million box office 472 million...today's money 2.36 billion...I bet the ticket I bought was less than 2 dollars
An absolute gem which can be watched over and over…pure joy…the camaraderie between the big 3 was immense
Right place at the Right time". ❤
If the movers and shakers of Martha's Vineyard put obstacles in their way, why did they agree to let them film there in the first place?
First movie I saw in a theater. I was 15 and had about a mile walk home alone. I was a paranoid wreck!
No one's talking about the fact that the actress in the opening scene was actually in a lot of pain from the crew pulling her through the water in different directions at the same time and broke her ribs 🫣 😢
Another movie, I remember seeing in the theaters. It terrified me so much, that I still remember scanning around before I dove into the five foot above ground pool we had.
That slap was so real,,,😳
After I saw Jaws in a movie theater shortly after it came out, I bought a boat and went sportfishing.
Good film
