A great summer classic from the mid-70's. We had a 25th anniversary edition, with small booklet, that went missing, but, if it re-appears, the DVD in that kit will never be watched. This 2000 Edition is superior in sound and picture. Love it! The packaging itself is understated, disguising what a terrific version of the classic this release is.

JAWS has always been one of my top three movies of all time. Absolutely top knotch storytelling, cinematics and acting. This DVD has several added features, such as outtakes, deleted scenes and interviews about the movie's production. Very enjoyable.

This is the Original 'Don't go in the water movie! When an insatiable great white shark terrorizes the townspeople of Amity Island, a police chief who is afraid of the ocean played by Roy Scheider (The Punisher, The Russia House, RKO 281, etc), a grizzled shark hunter (Robert Shaw) and an oceanographer played by Richard Dreyfuss (Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Always, The American President, etc) seek to destroy it. The shark has other ideas and proceeds to attack the boat they are on and tries to kill them at the same time. A cat and mouse type chase ensues and becomes a white knuckle adaption of the Peter Benchley novel that the movie is based on. Master director Steven Spielberg ( Muchich, Minority Report, Saving Pvt. Ryan, Jurassic Park, etc) works this movie in a great way-even adding an ominous musical score each time the shark sets to eat something (mostly people). A great thriller and classic movie that most people will enjoy and it will provide almost everyone with a good evening of entertainment.Read full review
The classic, suspenseful monster movie. Completely satisfying in the cast, the plot, the scares, and the finale. Odds are, you've seen it before and know all that only too well. Possible objections? Some may argue that they can tell the killer shark is animatronic. However, it was state-of-the-art in its time, and its performance did not dissapoint. (Personally, I found it preferrable to all the CGI done in recent films.) The rating? It's PG-13, but it really should be considered an "R". There is a particularly bloody moment towards the end that deserves R-rating. Special Features? This edition includes a nice featurette on the making of "JAWS". It includes interviews and behind the scenes info that makes for good extended entertainment. A reel of deleted scenes is also available. Outtakes? Yes, but there are only two. Probably because the movie is an "oldie", and they threw away the old excess film.Read full review
I bought this movie because I LOVE IT! This is one of those "greatest movies ever made." It has comedy and suspense, and Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary, Robert Shaw and all the others are great in this film. It was as if the film was made for them. The idea of a shark hanging around a beach for food wasn't heard of as much when this was made, but we sure do think about it now. Larry wasn't on my good side with his stubborn-headedness about closing the beaches and risking lives. I love the part where Roy Scheider is shoveling chum, bolts upright and backs up and says, "We're gonna need a bigger boat." Richard Dreyfuss was collected throughtout, except with the hole in the boat under the water. That still scares me, and I know it's coming! Get the movie---you won't be sorry. If it's on tv, I'm going to watch it even if I do have the DVD.Read full review
