I saw this in a theater when it came out. I recently recommended it to a friend who really enjoyed it. Something made me think of it this morning so I thought I'd promote it to people who probably never heard about it.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Jaws, Steven Spielberg's blockbuster horror movie based on the bestselling novel by Peter Benchley. We're marking the occasion with a tribute to this classic film and its enduring impact on the popular perception of sharks, shark conservation efforts, and our culture at large.

Jaws tells the story of Chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), the new police chief for Amity Island, a New England beach town and prime summer tourist attraction. But that thriving industry is threatened by a series of shark attacks, although the local mayor, Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton), initially dismisses the possibility, ridiculing the findings of visiting marine biologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss). The attacks keep escalating and the body count grows, until the town hires a grizzled shark hunter named Quint (Robert Shaw) to hunt down and kill the great white shark, with the help of Brody and Hooper.

Just watched this blind (haha) after seeing the two stars on the poster on Netflix as I was scrolling.

It was pretty fun! Not a cinematic masterpiece but enjoyable. Rated R for a few instances of breasts, an erection bulge, and lots of bad language.

I had a good time. I understand it wasn't a big success, and was the third of four movies they made together.

Wilder and Pryor are quite funny, often in an immature way. The female leads Joan Severance and Kirsten Childs do a great job, and Kevin Spacey plays a bad guy well.

Anybody else seen this?

Saw it in another thread, thought it might be interesting to share for people who find the Fossify one a bit basic: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.dot.gallery/
