Jaws (1975): Shark Week

July 17, 2016

Dun-nun. Dun-nun. What a classic. What a masterpiece. A movie that made me afraid of all bodies of water (including bathtubs) for longer than I'd like to admit. This movie follows a resort town that is being terrorized by a giant man-eating shark and the men who try to stop it, even when the town doesn't want to admit there is a problem. So obviously because this movie involves the ocean and a shark it screams summer. There's a beach full of tourist who are relaxing, tanning, and swimming. There's everything you need to have a picture perfect summer.. you know, minus the shark. This is one of the best animal horror movies of all time and it contains some classic lines. I love this movie so so much and everyone should watch it. I don't know what else to say, I don't ever want to spoil this movie for people because I feel like it's better to go into it with as little knowledge as possible. I would include it in Halloween because it's horror, but the setting really does lend better to a summer vibe.
