Can't believe it was 50 years ago.

Budget of $9 million and box office of $475 million!

Dreyfuss is still alive. Only 77.

Jaws (film - Wikipedia)
Fifty years ago! It was so scary the first time I saw it, shortly after it came out. I was starting my junior year in college, in Lincoln, Nebraska. I went back to see it again a couple weeks later. Sitting in front of my roommate and I were a couple girls from my little college. Just as the shark was about to bite someone, I got down on my hands and knees, reached under the seat in front of me, and grabbed an ankle of the girl sitting there. She screamed and seemed to jump several feet high. It was highly gratifying to my friends and I. Good memory.
