Jaws is the film often credited with kicking off the Blockbuster phenomenon. Spielberg's adaptation of the best selling Peter Benchley book about a man-eating great white shark which terrorises the small resort island of Amity was a smash hit on release back in 1975 and had a profound impact on the way movies have been made and marketed ever since. It is a polished production which stands up well to the ravages of time. Like a modernised version of Moby Dick, Jaws captured the imagination of people everywhere and caused many to avoid the water for fear of what may be lurking beneath the surface.
