Jaws was one of those of the movies I avoided seeing when it was released, but when I did, I certainly got rewards. This is Spielberg before he learned some bad habits and it really works. It seems like the actors had a greater contribution to the movie than in some of Spielberg's subsequent movies. The leads, Scheider, Dreyfuss, and Shaw are fantastic. Shaw just eats of the screen. This is much more than a shark-bites-mma movie. Much more and I highly recommend it. AMT178
