Today is the anniversary of the 1975 debut of the movie Jaws. By far one of my top 5 favorite movies of all times, this film defined the summer blockbuster. The theme song is hypnotic! The slasher parts were minimized for maximum appeal. There’s not much more I can add to the online commentaries. Instead, I urge you to dig out your DVD, sit back, and enjoy what is duunna duunna, du du dun.

I remember being terrified of the beach after Jaws came out. Even though we were used to shark-infested waters, in Panamá, the movie made so much more real. The theme song still sends chills up my spine, in a good way. And, makes me root for “Bruce.”
It’s no surprise that “Shark Week” is one of my favorite “holidays.”

Jaws is almost 40. Just let that sink in.
