The classic jaws gets my vote although I also like the reef too.

Yours?

Jaws is the only one I've ever seen that I can think of. Loved it! Felt kind of bad for the sharks though, they were just being sharks. But every time I hear about somebody being killed by a shark I remember those scenes where the swimmers were killed (we probably all do). Yikes, such a scary movie! Luckily (as I'm sure you know), they were all mechanical sharks and no live sharks were harmed during the filming!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...

Jaws and Deep Blue Sea are the only Shark-based movies I've seen.

Got to see it on the Universal Studios Tour back in 1986--it sprayed water all over my parents' camera. :lol:

While this wasn't a "shark film" per se, my favorite sharks in film are Bruce, Chum and Anchor from FINDING NEMO.

Yeah, while Shark Tale might not have exactly been the best, it's still a favorite of mine.

I also liked the original Jaws film, but despised the sequels...

Sharknado was also pretty cheesy too, IMO.

So far, I'm voting with everyone else, and saying the original Jaws - even though by today's standards, it's definitely dated. But for it's time, it certainly scared the poop out of millions of people when around water.

Jaws is the best one, today's movies about sharks are so lacking in plot and cheesy I think they came up with the plot overnight and spent a week filming them and animating the shark.

Hollywood just isn't creating enough dramatic roles for sharks these days.

I thought Jaws was okay, Shark Tale wasn't half bad, but Sharknado was hilariously funny it was bad.

Jaws, obviously, one of very few movies to feature the Megalodon, a giant prehistoric shark.
