Jaws (1975, 97%)
Alongside Saving Private Ryan and Ready Player One, Steven Spielberg calls it one of his three most difficult movies to make. It’s easy to see why, being a young turbulent filmmaker with a studio breathing down his neck, behind schedule and over-budget, with a broken mechanical shark. But Spielberg transformed chum into caviar, inventively using underwater POV shots and allowing the John Williams score to breathe…or, in this case, suffocate the audience.
