It’s been 50 years since Steven Spielberg’s Jaws terrified audiences and redefined the summer blockbuster. Despite decades of shark thrillers and outrageous horror films, Jaws remains the ultimate shark movie.

From Deep Blue Sea to Sharknado to The Meg franchise, numerous films have attempted to evoke the same fear, yet none have endured the test of time. Spielberg's expert use of suspense, practical effects, and grounded storytelling elevated Jaws beyond a mere monster movie, turning it into a cultural icon.
