Jaws 50: The Shark Is Still Working Documentary

 


Happy Birthday Jaws! It was 50 years ago this very day that Bruce the shark first terrorized audiences, scaring them away from the water to this very day. It's my favorite movie, despite, or because, it frightened me to my core after seeing it from a too-young age. And I'm far from the only one with such an experience.

The Shark Is Still Working is a fan-made documentary that lovingly details the effect the film had on moviegoers worldwide. If you count yourself as a Jaws fan, you will see yourself in the documentary.

Enjoy it below or directly on YouTube here. Farewell and adieu!

Jaws 50: In The Teeth of JAWS (BBC Making-of Documentary, 1997)



Welcome back! I couldn't let the blog be idle during the 50th anniversary of my all-time favorite movie. Jaws celebrates its 50th anniversary this Friday, June 20th, and to celebrate, I'll be sharing some interesting documentaries of this landmark flick!

First up, In The Teeth of Jaws is a BBC-produced doc from 1997 featuring interviews with producers David Brown and Richard Zanuck, costars Richard Dreyfus and Lorraine Gary, and cowriter Carl Gottlieb, among others. Admittedly, Jaws documentaries abound, but each one still frames the facts of the making of the movie in an interesting light.

Special thanks go to The Daily Jaws, a FINTASTIC Jaws fan site that everyone should visit, for sharing the doc on their YouTube channel. I drink to their legs!

Enjoy! Please see the embedded video below or directly on YouTube here.
