It was Steven Spielberg's second film (can you believe that?), and it blew up at the box office in 1975, making it the first big summer blockbuster ever. Archive Photos / Getty Images Oh, yeah, it also won three Academy Awards, NBD... But even after all these accolades, I have never seen it... until now. So grab your chum bucket (aka popcorn), and watch the movie with me for the 50th anniversary below: Note: I'm going to be calling the shark "Bruce" because that's what they called him on set! 1. Cool, cool, cool, cool... we're just starting off with the Jaws theme song. This is fine...I'm fine. Universal Studios 2. Oh, look, now we're hanging out with the youths while they have a bonfire. And this man approached a woman... who was hanging by herself, might I add. Sir, stay in your lane. Universal Studios 3. Now they're running toward the beach because Chrissie wants to go swimming?? Girl, it's in the middle of the night! Why do you think this is a good idea?? (I can already tell, I'm too old to hang with these youths...) Universal Studios "I'm not drunk!!" said a very "sober" nameless man as he ran after her. *facepalm* 4. Wait... now Chrissie is in the ocean by herself... in the middle of the night?? In this economy??? And this man, who is NAMELESS, is struggling to take his clothes off because he's "not drunk"? This isn't going to end well. Universal Studios However, Chrissie's footwork? 10/10 5. And the Jaws music is back... Universal Studios Damn, you, American composer and conductor John Williams... damn you. 6. Bruce got her!! Chrissie is screaming for her life! And this NAMELESS man is just lying on the beach?? Absolutely not. Universal Studios Why are you doing this to me so early in the movie, Steven Spielberg?? 7. So now it's the following morning, and we're at Martin and Ellen Brody's house... AND THEIR SON HAS A CUT ON HIS HAND?? It's too early for this. What is going on with the youths in this town?? Universal Studios 8. Okay, Martin and Ellen are so cute together. A healthy couple in a thriller movie? I'll take it. Universal Studios Also, can we talk about how great this shot is? You find out he's the chief of the Amity Police Department with perfect positioning of the car behind the fence, and the color contrast is *chef kiss.* 9. "And nobody saw her go into the water?" "Somebody could have, but I was sort of... passed out." YOU DID THIS, NAMELESS MAN! Universal Studios 10. Oh, no... they found Chrissie. Universal Studios 11. Well, thanks to Polly, we finally figured out how Martin's son hurt his hand: Apparently, kids have been karate chopping picket fences. Universal Studios *shakes fists* Youths. 12. Now Martin needs to go to the store to get supplies to create "beach closed" signs. A man of many talents... Universal Studios "This stuff is not going to help me in August. ... You haven't got one thing I ordered. Not a beach umbrella, not a sun lounger, no beach balls. If I can't get service..." Okay, sir, in the background, you don't need to be rude to the store owner! Where is that shark when we need him... #sharkattackonland 13. "You're going to shut down the beaches on your own authority? ... Amity is a summer town. We need summer dollars..." Oh, this mayor is the devil, isn't he? Capitalism at its finest. Universal Studios 14. I don't like how much the camera is focusing on the dog... Universal Studios 15. Or this boy... Universal Studios 16. "Are you okay?" "Everything is fine, it's fine..." Don't hide your anxiety, Martin! Tell your wife how you feel!!! Universal Studios Also, props to Ellen for being a supportive wife. "If the kids going into the water is worrying you, they can play on the beach." #morehealthycouplesinfilm 17. "We know all about you, Chief. You don't go into the water at all, do you?" I don't condone making fun of old men, but HOW DARE YOU, HARRY. Don't bring up Martin's traumas to his face. Martin is right: That is some "bad hat, Harry." Now, go back into the water where you belong. Universal Studios 18. Ugh, I knew it. The owner is calling for his dog, Pippet. Universal Studios The dog didn't deserve this, Steven Spielberg! 19. Okay, you (kinda) won me back, Steven. Only because you did this iconic dolly zoom shot when Bruce unfortunately killed the kid and the dog. Universal Studios #justiceforpippet 20. "Any special questions?" "Is that $3,000 bounty on the shark cash or check?" Oh, hell no. A kid (and a dog) just died, sir. Go straight to jail!! Universal Studios 21. The absolute worst (yet best) introduction to a new character ever??? I might say so. Universal Studios My body will never recover from this sound. 22. "I don't want no volunteers. I don't want no mates. ... $10,
