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!

It's such a great film. We rewatched last night for the 50th anniversary. Never gets old.
I would've been 10yo when a friend and I caught it on first run. Biggest laugh was in competitive drink-container crumpling.

He may be responsible for the brief but energetic fanfare heard at the end of every Paramount-produced TV series in the 70s and 80s.
