Jaws 

The movie was adapted by Peter Benchley[?], Carl Gottlieb[?], John Milius[?] (uncredited), Howard Sackler[?] (uncredited) and Robert Shaw (uncredited) from the novel by Benchley. It was directed by Steven Spielberg.

It won Academy Awards for Best Film Editing, Best Music, Original Score (John Williams) and Best Sound. It was also nominated for Best Picture. The film is consistently on the Internet Movie Database's list of top 250 films and was #48 on American Film Institute's 100 Years, 100 Movies and #2 on its 100 Years, 100 Thrills. In 2001 the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.

It was filmed at Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. In a bit of serendipity, the mechanical shark didn't work most of the time so Spielberg was forced to shoot many of the scenes with the shark only hinted at. This is widely thought to have increased the suspense of many scenes.

Jaws was followed by three sequels: Jaws 2 (1978), Jaws 3-D (1983) and Jaws: The Revenge (1987).

On and on, straight for the turn - if he could but see the love, the adoration, the atonement! Not a word is spoken; the populous depths of the forest still murmur silence absolute. The burly commander is an equestrian statue of motionless all. The line of battle in the edge of the wood stands at a by the consciousness of what is going on. All these hardened and familiar to their every-day observation; who sleep on hills trembling and play at cards among the dead faces of their dearest friends, - all act involving the life of one man. Such is the magnetism of courage and among the spectators a start, as if they had received an electric.
