One of the greatest and most influential films of all time is back on the big screen for its 50th anniversary! Back in the summer of 1975, Jaws opened in theaters with such a huge response that people lined up around the block to wait for their chance to get tickets… giving way to the phrase “blockbuster.” The film was and is a cultural phenomenon, launching the career of a then 27 year-old Steven Spielberg, and making generation after generation afraid to go into the water.
