“Don’t go in the water.” ~Jaws (1975)

IMDB Summary: When a gigantic great white shark begins to menace the small island community of Amity, a police chief, a marine scientist and grizzled fisherman set out to stop it.

Rotten Tomatoes rating: 97%

Why I love it: I’m fascinated with any movie that defines a generation. And it’s awesome.

This one’s for my best friend Jalee, who said Jaws had to be on the list and she was totally right. And who, like myself,  will never let her legs dangle while swimming in the ocean because of the sharks or in a lake because of the piranhas.
