Jaws

Jaws is about a small summer town called Amity that has found itself plagued with a shark problem just in time for the fourth of July. This being their peak season most are trying to overlook what is happening and the only one who seems to have his head on straight is their new Sheriff named Brody. Being from New York, Brody isn't used to dealing with ocean situations such as this but alerts the proper outside sources to try and to convince the public they should be closing the beaches. With the help of a scientist called Hooper, and fisherman as well as local, Quint, they close the beaches and go right out into the middle of the battle ground to find and eventually kill the unusually large great white shark that has been killing and terrorizing the citizens.

This being Spielberg's first big budget film, it's where we first get to see how his films change how movie goes see movies. Most of the film is done in tight shots and creative zooms, the soundtrack has set the tone for all horror movies to follow it with the now historic "dun-uh dun-uh," and even for the fact that you don't see the shark for the first half of the film he pulled it off and was called a genius. Jaws will always be called a classic and couldn't be a better way for Spielberg to enter the public eye.
