#181. Jaws
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/eb/JAWS_Movie_poster.jpg
Dir: Steven Spielberg
Genre: Suspense/Thriller
Year: 1975

Every aspiring filmmaker should study the story behind Jaws. Marred by a shit ton of technical issues, Jaws production was almost shut down several times. A young Steven Spielberg had to convince the studio to keep it going while searching for solutions to make sure his vision came true on screen. And what we were left with was a masterpiece of suspense.

Because of Spielberg's tenacity, Jaws eventually was completed and the final product was greater than the B-movie that it might have been. The fear is in what you don't see, which makes the revelation of the shark even more impactful and memorable. There's a reason why this movie literally caused the beach tourism industry to suffer in the mid-70s. It's that effective.
