Danielle Goldfarb: "The result of this movie for me was being afraid of the water for years and years as a child, so I guess this movie gets some points for having a scary affect for years. All in all, a medium production, I would give it a 6."
Samantha Wilfredo Alicea: "I didn't want to go to the beach. "
Alexander Jacob Varela: " this first ever summer blockbuster of the year 1975 film directed by Steven Spielberg himself is my favorite movie of all time and is the reason i got into sharks "
Anat Penini: "I thought this movie was scary and I only realized its power over me when I went into the ocean and ran out screaming when i felt seaweed brush up against me"

Claudia Knijpinga: "deel 1 voornamelijk door de muziek zenuwen!"
April Cathleen Cornelius: "Probably the greatest movie ever, Jaws is based on the novel by Peter Benchley (who based it on the 1916 shark attacks at the Jersey Shore) A young woman swimming alone at night (never a good idea) is dragged under while her boyfriend is passed out on the beach. The next day her remains are found on the beach. Its very obviously a shark attack but when Chief Brody puts that on the report and wants to close the beach he's met with resistance by the mayor and the townspeople whose income depends on tourists. Another fatal attack on a young boy prompts the town to close the beach and bring in Matt Hooper from the Oceanographic institute. Also they hire local fisherman Quint to kill the shark ("I value my neck a lot more than 3000 bucks chief I'll find him for three but I'll catch him and kill him for ten") The second half of the movie finds Hooper ("This was not a boating accident") Brody and Quint out at sea to hunt the shark who has attacked again and nearly killed Brody's son. As the shark passes under the boat, you can see that its much bigger ("Youre gonna need a bigger boat") While on board Quint tells of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the worst shark attack in history ("1100 men went into the water 316 came out of the water sharks took the rest June the 29th 1945") Quint is killed by the shark as it tears the boat apart (at one point it drags the boat with the engines running in the opposite directions Mythbusters proved that couldnt be done in open ocean) Brody who cant swim manages to kill the shark ("Smile you son of a bitch") while Hooper is still down in the shark cage. No words can describe this the greatest movie ever "
Corina Robinson: "Best Classic 70's scared me when i was a kid to go into the ocean."
