In honor of the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's 1975 blockbuster "Jaws," we're ranking the 10 best shark movies of all time.

Shark! Shark! “Jaws,” which hit theaters 50 years ago next Friday, is known for making many splashes. It was the first hit for a 27-year-old Steven Spielberg, the man who’d go on to become one of Hollywood’s all-time greatest directors.

It's not the most egregious example of a cash-in seque.

As "Jaws" turns 50, delve into the film's enduring legacy, its cultural impact, and ole in shaping modern cinema.

Performance Worth Watching: Well, it’s nice to see Roy Scheider again, even if it’s kind of a bummer that he was essentially strongarmed into appearing in Jaws 2 (for a hefty raise, of course) in lieu of fulfilling a three-picture deal with Universal.

Watch it again and, in particular, you may conclude that the real hero is not who it first seemed. Jaws is a story of two halves. A killer great white shark terrorises Amity Island, a pretty New England resort.
