It's been 50 years since the sharks from Steven Spielberg's movie frightened audiences. More precisely, we are still three weeks away from the anniversary. 50 years is a long time, and some may even be surprised that the first installment of the famous horror series is so many years old.

Jaws is already a cult work, which was quite successful and well-received in 1975. But while the first part did so well and launched a larger series, its sequels can't be said to have at least maintained the level of the first movie.

But let's focus on the first Jaws, which has to its credit three Oscars. The film was based on Peter Benchley's 1974 novel, and we could see Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gary and Murray Hamilton in it.

And it wasn't just viewers who were impressed by the show. Quentin Tarantino, too, could not get out of his admiration, during the ReelBlend podcast calling Jaws “the greatest movie ever made.”

I think Jaws is the greatest movie ever made. Maybe not the greatest film. But it's the greatest movie ever made. And then there are other movies that can get in its rarefied air. But as far as a movie, there's no making it better than Jaws. There's no “better” than Jaws. It is the best movie ever made. And it shows how badly timed most movies made before Jaws were.

So much praise from the mouth of the filmmaker only underscores what a jaw-dropping masterpiece Jaws is, which you will soon be able to reach for on the Peacock, where all installments of the series will be available on June 15 to celebrate the upcoming anniversary.
