Jaws

• Directed by Steven Spielberg
• 1975 | 124mins | United States |

Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss lead a top-class ensemble cast in Steven Spielberg’s 1975 tense monster horror, based on Peter Benchley’s bestseller with an unforgettable score by John Williams. Widely-regarded now as the first summer blockbuster it’s celebrating it’s 50th birthday this year and it’s still a nailbiting watch, in spite (because of?) there being no CGI. When a young woman is killed by a shark while swimming near the tourist town of Amity Island, the police chief wants to close the beaches, but the mayor prevents him from doing so in order not to scare the tourists away..
