It's been 45 years since this masterpiece hit the big screen. I have so many good memories with this movie. Rest in Peace Roy and Robert, the two legends who brought this movie to life.
Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss just worked SO well together. People call out for another JAWS movie, but why I do not know! Without these guys, there will never be a movie quite like it! Just take the scene with the song "Show me the way to go home, bum bum bum"! Pure Class, how could you ever beat that in any sequel!? Probably one of the BEST movies ever made for it's time, and forever a true classic!
Disney makes great trailers, but awful movies. Universal makes great trailers, decent movies, Paramount makes great trailers, great movies, Warner Bros. make great trailers, decent movies, and Sony makes awful trailers, awful movies.
@Dennis The Menace : Yeah, sure, good trailers these days hehehehe Good when they don't spoil and give away the damned movie that they're supposed to be selling hehehehehehe
Do not remake this movie. No amount of CGI digital effects can do justice. There aren't any more acting giants like Shaw and the chemistry of all three including a director who took 8 hours to do one shot because the alternative shot which took 1 hour would not have the same effect. He held out for the movie he wanted to make. Classic Shaw and Scheider.
If I was going to remade this movie (Which I’m not) I would never use CGI on this movie, I would a 100% get a mechanical shark cause CGI looks like balls, sure I would use CGI on some parts but never on Bruce a.k.a The Shark
@@richardcarrier9536 Omigosh, I can't believe you said that! After I saw Jaws, I would not get in the bath tub. It was a ridiculous fear and I KNEW it - there's no dang shark in the tub!!! Didn't matter. I would not get in a bath tub of water for a very long time.
Awesome trailer for one of the best movies ever made. That fact that it was made 40 years ago before CGI effects and computer tricks makes it even more impressive on so many levels.
In the documentary of Spielberg, it is said that they cannot get the shark to work properly, so they had to film shots of the fin swarming around in the water just to milk it for all it’s worth, and film still made money. I think the phrase jumping the shark came when Jaws’ sequels got stale.
Being filmed the old way is what makes this movie and all the great movies of its time so enjoyable. It gives them a mystery and a grit that new movies simply lack. Movies of today are too slick and too clear, just not believable.
"See it......before you go swimming" Truer works never spoken. Saw this in theaters and totally scared me enough that even swimming in a pool freaked me out.
Spielberg wanted to direct Lucky Lady with Burt Reynolds and Liza Minelli but he asked Sid Sheinberg President of Universal Pictures for his advice and Sheinberg said he could make the other movie but it wouldn’t have any commercial appeal so he got forced into making Jaws. All the production problems persisted and Spielberg remained angry and bitter at Sheinberg the whole shoot but it paid off because Spielberg became a household name and went on to keep making great movies after another. If we didn’t have Jaws as hard as it was to make we wouldn’t have Spielberg’s legacy the way it is.
Steven Spielberg was indeed much ahead of his time with movies like Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Jurassic Park, Hook, Saving Private Ryan....the the list is endless...Guess Jaws was not only a cult movie of its time but in the history of movies ever made..Only a director of that class can make a movie like Jaws not showing the shark almost half way through the movie yet it gave almost all the audience a chill running down our spine...Sir....it was a treat to have been an audience for your movies and a blessing to have been able to view your movies this life...Love from India....
Apparently, this movie was a pain in the ass to film but the final product was flawless. One of the greatest horror movies of all time. "Jaws" is the reason why I never go to the beach. Sharks are such terrifying yet fascinating creatures. This film will NEVER leave my movie collection. R.I.P. Roy Scheider.
I wouldn't call it a "Horror movie". It's scary, terrifying even! Maybe. But even so, it's a good scare. An exciting one! Jaws is more for entertainment and fun scares!
This is my favorite movie ever. It has an amazing score, amazing actors, amazing dialogue, and amazing sense of emotion. You can tell when there scared, sad, happy, all that. I can’t believe this movie was made over 40 years ago. I can’t tell you how much I love this movie. I love the trailer too. It seem legit so Ima just believe this was legit the trailer from the 1970s.
I was 10 when this came out, to me it had a far bigger impact on me than Star Wars that came out a few years later. Anything that's at the top of the food chain is going to be dangerous, nature is designed like that.
I never had that problem when I saw Jaws as a little kid. Surpsingly, I never was too scared to go swimming, the only scene that really made me shiver was Quints death. There was something about the screaming and the blood that gave me chills for years!
Still one of the greatest films. I remember my mom & dad coming home from the theatre. My mom was obviously shook, she kept saying "That poor girl, she kept screaming for god to help her, that poor girl..."
Every start of my summer vacation, i put this movie on with a couple of beers and some cigarettes and watch it. This movie start's the endless summer for me, and i have done it since i was fifteen, and now i'm almost thirty years old. The movie get's better and better each year. Cant wait for Friday the 19th of June :3
If you know me at all, you know this is my all-time favorite movie. I grew up with it, I've written papers on it, and it still haunts my nightmares nearly 40 years later.
Christian Thuller Next month is the 40th anniversary of this classic. I'll cross my fingers for a limited re-release; it would be interesting to see how the first blockbuster competes with the new kids, wouldn't it?
Ah, the movie that made everyone so scared to jump in the water, the movie that made the shark a fearsome killer monster, the movie that made Steven Spielberg a major name in the world of Hollywood, and one that, along with the first Star Wars film in 1977 two years later, kick-started the Summer Movie craze that continues today. This was truly Universal in its 93-year (1912 - 2005) cinematic prime. It's sad that the Universal of today cannot recapture the greatness it once held during its glory period.
Rebecca Clark People no longer have the patience to sit through an hour of growing suspense before they get a clear view of the Creature. They want immediate action.
The outstanding actors. The tense music. The great white taking down 3 barrels! Quint's agonizing final moments. That horrifying trailer. This movie had it all...and I loved every minute of it!!
The reason why the shark couldn't be scene in the beginning attacks were because Steven Speilberg couldn't get Bruce (the mechanical shark) to work. I honestly think that if the shark had been shown during the first attack it wouldn't have had the fear gripping effect it had on people
Jaws was released 40 years ago today. Because of this film: Steve Spielberg became a household name, Robert Shaw gave the best and most memorable performance of his career and movies were never the same again.
I think Jaws actually helped start a new era of exciting movies that lasted through to the 90s - exciting films which relied on good stories, good acting and good cinematography.
@@skerr808 Sadly, that isn’t the case for everyone. Jaws had a severely negative impact on some people, as they thought that sharks were mindless killing machines who only thought about blood and death. Because of this fervent attitude to killing sharks, they have become severely endangered and even became smaller in size making their magnificence fade away.
It was around 3AM in the morning. I was in my village, mother was asleep and I was in my kitchen. I was drawing when the movie came on the TV. I left my art aside and watched the whole movie. From then, this movie is in my top 10, I regret nothing.
The scene of Robert Shaw describing his ordeal aboard USS Indianapolis is worth the price of admission. Dreyfuss and Schieder sit there in utter amazement!
@@braixy642 Nah, but it was Shaw himself who wrote it and he said the entire speech while being drunk simultaneously. It’s frightening how stable he was.
@@YMPictures The book is inspired by events in around 1917 or some old date like that. It's true. I'll always remember the name of one of the victims; Lester Stilwell.
One of my favorite movies of all time. I wasn’t even born then. I’m still “baby”. I can watch this movie over and over and not get tired of it. It’s a classic and one of the best movies ever made. Steven Spielberg has made a work of art. This trailer scares me more then the movie.
this makes me so sad. 273,000,000 sharks are killed annually by us, and 4.2 people are killed by a shark each year. you are more likely to get killed by a coconut ( true) than by a shark. we cut their dorsal fins off, for soup, and them chuck them back in the water to die slowly. sharks are not killing machines. we are. SHARE THIS
ell piron true. Here we are. The most intelligent species to ever live. And what do we do? Destroying the only World we will ever have. Sometimes I think the best scientific profe of god is that God does not want to ever talk to us.
Easily Spielberg's best and most balanced film ( Raiders is close too). What makes JAWS so good is that Spielberg has been blessed with great actors, a superb script, and the idea of "less is more". People forget that with a few exceptions Spielberg's films have been rather spotty, especially after E.T. Also Jurassic Park was actually not that well reviewed and Schindler's List actually gave Spielberg a huge critical boost. Regardless, I was ten when I saw JAWS and thought it was the greatest thing ever. Now as an adult, it's obvious that JAWS gas aged way better than me!
@@beyond1957un fact,they were going to use a real great white,but if that happened,there would be a lot more than six deaths,five if you don’t include pippet. About a thousand more. I’m so sick of these movies were the characters are overly idiots,and the horror is quick and not needed,for example,look at the sand movie. Or other horror movies,the seventies really were great,parents were strict and whipped their children,children behaved nice, Elvis still was alive,and other good stuff,and the Vietnam war ended in 1975,when jaws released. I’m not saying that not all time periods have good films,look at the James Bond movies,or mission impossible dead reckoning,I find many other good movies in different time periods great.
The movie turns 45 today! Still a classic in every way Between the shark animatronics the music by John Williams the suspense and the actors this is the first summer blockbuster that set the template for many to come Even my sister confessed to me a while back she’s terrified of sharks
I remember when I was a kid I used to watch this when it was on TV and eventually I got the entire collection on VHS and I would watch them almost every day after school
Interesting how a movie can have such an impact on people to be afraid of the water. The same with Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, because everybody was afraid to take a shower.
Well I'm not afraid to take a shower. I don't live with a psycho mommys boy who dresses up as an old dead woman. And I've always been afraid of the water in general.
jaws will always be to me the greatest classic movie of all Time 1st rate acting clean no need for content that is not suitable for children we need more of that.
This trailer is basically the movies greatest hits of moments . I've been hooked ever since I first saw that shark devour Robert Shaw . That moment was and still is the most bloodiest moment in cinema history.
I agree. I think they should bring it back to the theaters. Not a remake. The original. My favorite moment is when Brody bangs it in the nose and then tosses the tank at it and says; 'smile you sonofabitch'. BABOOM
Horror movies are being remade left and right. It's only a matter of time before Hollywood decides to pull this film off the shelf and take a CGI shit all over it.
And? It's not like it's going to take away the enjoyment of the original. There's room for both original & remake movies to exist & sometimes I like remakes more then the originals.
I saw this movie when it came out in 1975. People in the theater screamed.
I was one of them...I was only 6 yrs old....lol
Jesus Nieves 6?? That must have been horrifying

Jurassic Park is a great film but Jaws is better..
Jurassic Park is my favorite as well with Jaws second
And they say modern films show too much in the trailer!
I thought that the shark wasn't shown because technology back then was bad so they couldn't afford the effects?

But they showed some of the best scenes, and lines in the movie.
+bob rew you know that now.... You didn't know that before you ever saw the movie

A Classic. Percy Rodriguez is a legend
1975 to 2023, and I still love watching this movie. Can't beat the classics, and you know it.
The reason why the shark couldn't be scene in the beginning attacks were because Steven Speilberg couldn't get Bruce (the mechanical shark) to work. I honestly think that if the shark had been shown during the first attack it wouldn't have had the fear gripping effect it had on people
I thought he named him tom
Nope the shark's name is Bruce.
Thank
Thats mad but yer definitely true better to not of shown him yet and it worked out better
Spielberg has always said that himself.
The guy who narrated this has the coolest voice ever. He sets the mood for each trailer. Even the Taxi Driver trailer, which was also amazing!
Also the voice of the Locknar orb in "Heavy Metal".

Really? I haven’t really seen any major criticism of Jurassic park, it’s idea was just so good and it’s execution too
@@beyond1957un fact,they were going to use a real great white,but if that happened,there would be a lot more than six deaths,five if you don’t include pippet. About a thousand more. I’m so sick of these movies were the characters are overly idiots,and the horror is quick and not needed,for example,look at the sand movie. Or other horror movies,the seventies really were great,parents were strict and whipped their children,children behaved nice, Elvis still was alive,and other good stuff,and the Vietnam war ended in 1975,when jaws released. I’m not saying that not all time periods have good films,look at the James Bond movies,or mission impossible dead reckoning,I find many other good movies in different time periods great.
A big bite of cinema history!
its been 11 years and this JAWS Trailer feels like watching a new trailer! Its awsome!
JAWS: "See It Before You Go Swimming".
JAWS 2: see before you go BACK in the water
Oh please I like SeaWorld as much as the next person but that tagline is ridiculous. I didn't even see Jaws 3
Jaws:The Revenge: See a good movie instead
I love Jesus Christ
Watch movie Jaws
The movie turns 45 today!
Still a classic in every way
Between the shark animatronics the music by John Williams the suspense and the actors this is the first summer blockbuster that set the template for many to come
Even my sister confessed to me a while back she’s terrified of sharks
This is still haunting today... and a good Steven Spielberg film.
I don’t care how many times I have seen this masterpiece. It could be a million, it will always scare me. It can never bore me
I remember when I was a kid I used to watch this when it was on TV and eventually I got the entire collection on VHS and I would watch them almost every day after school
quite possibly....one the best movie trailers in the History
Crazy, I've seen the film many times and yet the trailer still gets me on the edge of my seat.
Interesting how a movie can have such an impact on people to be afraid of the water.
The same with Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, because everybody was afraid to take a shower.
Was? I'm still scared of the damned shower
Sorry for the confusion. I'm actually talking in general.
Well I'm not afraid to take a shower. I don't live with a psycho mommys boy who dresses up as an old dead woman.
And I've always been afraid of the water in general.
Ok, I understand.
Nice Alfred Hitchcock reference
Jaws will never ever in a million years get old
jaws will always be to me the greatest classic movie of all Time 1st rate acting clean no need for content that is not suitable for children we need more of that.
Like many, I watched this movie as a kid and fell in love with it. One of my favorites growing up. Star Wars did the same thing too.
We had it good at 10 years old back then! Jaws, Star Wars, Close Encounters, Apocalypse Now….moviemaking at its best ✅✅
Happy, Happy, Happy 40th Anniversary "Jaws"!
Anybody is here now to see this trailor in 2021.
This movie is blockbuster still for now.
THE PERFECT MOVIE of all time.
This Man with a great voice did best trailers ever
Still my favourite film 3 brilliant acting performances
Is it me or i love old horror movies from the 70s and 80s
This trailer is basically the movies greatest hits of moments . I've been hooked ever since I first saw that shark devour Robert Shaw . That moment was and still is the most bloodiest moment in cinema history.
Same!! First watched it in 2008
It's definitely a crying and horrible shame they don't make magnificent and legendary movies like this anymore. The film industry has died.
Released 45 years ago today . . . JUNE 20TH, 1975.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAWS!
🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
My favourite Spielberg movie of all time.
Well, with the exception of the shark getting blown up at the end this is pretty much the whole movie right here!
What a classic!
It's still to this day one of the greatest movies ever
I agree. I think they should bring it back to the theaters. Not a remake. The original. My favorite moment is when Brody bangs it in the nose and then tosses the tank at it and says; 'smile you sonofabitch'. BABOOM
I watched this movie so many times. I wasn’t born when it came out, but when I saw this on Vudu I was interested.
Hats off to Verna Fields who did a great editing job on this classic.
Horror movies are being remade left and right. It's only a matter of time before Hollywood decides to pull this film off the shelf and take a CGI shit all over it.
+Jupiter9099 No matter how bad that movie may be, it can't possibly be worse than Jaws: The Revenge.
+Tommy Dee 100% agree
Which is kind of a shame, because mechanical shark technology has likely come a long way since 75'
And? It's not like it's going to take away the enjoyment of the original. There's room for both original & remake movies to exist & sometimes I like remakes more then the originals.
Riley Raine When used smartly, CGI can be pretty cool. When used lazily, CGI can be downright annoying.
One of the great examples of: "They don't make 'em like they use to."
FOREVER A CLASSIC
Classic the best brilliant film and soundtrack
The absolute best movie
Still one of the best movies of all time. Everything today is trash, except some dramas on Netflix.
What kind of stuff do you find trash today ?
"See it before you go swimming." That HAS to be one of the best movie taglines ever.
I love this movie.
Jaws is my all time favourite film
Epic….no other word for it.
Jaws is the best shark movie no one can replace this masterpiece
Jaws is my all time favourite film
