Jaws completes 40 years in June, 2015. It was a Steven Spielberg movie. In the story, a marine biologist, a police chief and a fisherman search for a man-eating white shark who has made life hell for the people of Amity Island, a fictional island. They had to hunt this predator. It won three Oscars. The movie led to three sequels. Jaws 2 (1978 ), Jawas 3D (1983), and Jawas the Revenge (1987). Jaws equals the Exorcist as far as fright is concerned. Much of the film is non-sensical but it is a good deal of fun. It inspired a series of other movies such as Anaconda, The Deep, Alien, Tentacles, Deep Blue Sea. Alien is Jaws in space. Spielberg named the sharks ‘ Bruce.’ American Film Institute places Jaws at No. 2 after Psycho. At No. 3 is the Exorcist. In the list of the greatest American movies prepared by AFI, Jaws is ranked 48th (2005 ). A quarter of the film is shot from water level to give the feeling to the viewers of being in water. In terms of the highest grossing US films, Jaws is ranked seven.
