‎The moment you hear that two-note musical cue, the primal fear kicks in. Audiences have long been fascinated with the idea of killer sharks, and filmmakers have answered that fear with more than 180 films—most arriving after 1975’s Jaws, the Steven Spielberg blockbuster that redefined both the summer movie and our terror of the sea.
