Amber: “I’ve never seen or used a phone on the wall like that!” “Ooh, a typewriter!” “Have you ever seen one?” Jay: “Not in person.” GEEZ, I feel sooooo old now!

Movie is almost 50 years old. People still underestimate it. I actually think it gets better with age because we are so caught up in our digital world and everything is CGI we forgot to appreciate movies like this. That‘s why reaction channels are taking off. People discovering the old stuff was actually pretty awesome.

Fun story about the kid the shark ate at the beach! About 20 odd years later the woman that plays his mom in the film went into a fast food place and just happened to see a picture taken from Jaws of the little boy that got eaten! She commented "Why do you have that picture up? I played his Mom in the film Jaws!" The waitress got the manager who happened to be the little boy in the film they hadn't seen each other since making Jaws!

The speech delivered by Quint about the USS Indianapolis tragedy is a true story, an actual historical fact. It really happened! His story relating the incident is one of the most epic monologues in cinematic history, and is the key to his character and his obsession with killing sharks. He smashed the radio not only because he was determined to personally secure the bounty and reward for killing the shark, which is strictly a secondary consideration for him, but rather because he wanted revenge (or perhaps redemption) for his horrific experience, which he can only achieve by destroying the man-eating shark himself…

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="282">4:42</a> - Jay: "this is going to make me not want to go back and swim in the ocean..." - the exact phrase uttered by an entire generation when this movie hit theaters.

Quint’s monologue about the USS Indianapolis was an actual historical event. Robert Shaw’s delivery makes for one of the most impactful scenes in film history! This will always be one of my favorite films!

This is one of those few movies where you can know exactly what happens, and what the ending is, because you've watched it many times, and you're STILL on the edge of your seat when you rewatch it. THAT is a sign of a well made movie.

You know what's a LOT of fun? Knowing when the "moments" are coming and watching you two freak out when they happen! Classic. Love it! Thanks!

Everything about this movie was iconic. Quint’s “Indianapolis” speech, that haunting score, the iconic “we’re gonna need a bigger boat” quote. Still holds up today.

Only wish a little of Quint's " Indianapolis" speech was left in this reaction because it's one of the most acclaimed monologues in cinema history. And, yeah, people still get in boats like the Orca (both for pleasure boating and commercial fishing).

One of the most famous lines from older movies, “We’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

When the movie ended, I remember everyone walking out of the theater, totally silent and absolutely exhausted, and the anti-shark fear was very real for a couple years afterwards!

When this movie came out in 1975, going to the theater was still an "event". You couldn't buy your ticket beforehand and the lines to get in could be wrapped around the block. But you were with your friends, so the wait didn't matter. When you took your seat with your popcorn and soda,you could feel the excitement. The whole audience participated in the film. We all screamed at the same places and cheered when the shark met his end. The music can still get to me to this day and you will still hear the phrase, "You're going to need a bigger boat." to this day. Good choice, guys! Thanks for the memories!

"24 hours! What's that going to do? Just make the shark skip a meal?" Amber had me bursting out laughing.

LOL!! Amber: "I'm wondering how scared I'm gonna get?" First scene Amber is freakin' out 🤣😂

"24 hours? What's that gonna do? Just make the shark skip a meal?" is one of the best reaction lines I've heard in a while. XD

The story Quint told about the sailors on the USS Indianapolis, is a true story. The effects in this movie still hold up after all this time! The music alone still triggers that visceral fear response. In 1975 people I knew actually went to therapy because of this movie!

"I underestimated this movie." Truer words have rarely been spoken.

I was born and raised on Martha’s Vineyard, the island in Massachusetts where the movie was filmed. It’s always a fun little nostalgia trip for me to watch this movie and see all the towns and beaches from my childhood

This film was released in June of 1975, but had been ready to go for months. The reason it was held back was to time it with the start of summer--which ratcheted up the freak-out factor and made everyone want to see it.

I can understand why you cut out Quint's story for the reaction, but that is actually a very pertinent story, both historically and for insight into why he's so obsessed with killing sharks. In case you weren't paying attention, it's a true story of the U.S.S. Indianapolis. They delivered the first Atomic bomb to Tinian Island, under the utmost secrecy. As they were returning, the ship was torpedoed by a Japanese warship. Since their mission was so secret, they weren't reported missing for several days... by which time hundreds of the crew has been eaten by sharks. So Quint had spent days floating in the water, listening to the screams of his shipmates as they were eaten by sharks... 😱

We saw this in a movie theater when it first came out. The death of the girl at the start of the film almost made us walk out, it was so traumatic.

I was 9 when this movie came out living in northern Wisconsin, over 15,000 lakes. I wouldn’t go swimming and was even afraid of taking a bath till I was 12! 100% fact. This movie defined my psyche!!

This is arguably the most perfect movie ever made. It is also the first "blockbuster" movie, where everyone flocked to the theaters to see one movie over the summer.

"You're gonna need a bigger boat" has become such an iconic line that's entered the culture and in fact Roy Scheider improvised it and they kept it in!

I was sitting in the movie theatre holding a full bucket of popcorn on my lap when that head popped up out of the water, my body jumped up… my hands flew up to cover my eyes…the bucket of popcorn I’d been holding flew up into the air and popcorn rained down on everyone sitting near me. I will never forget that scene!!!

Fun fact. The guy who played the news reporter was Peter Benchley. The author of the book.

Richard Dreyfus was in SO many big movies at that time. HIGHLY recommend “Stand by Me.” Also can’t go wrong with “Mr Holland’s Opus.”

This film is a true masterpiece Jaws directed by Steven Spielberg starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss and the iconic music score by John Williams. The line "You're gonna need a bigger boat" was ranked in the list of the American Film Institute (AFI) 100 Years....100 Movie Quotes. Thank you guys great reaction excellent😊👍👍👍

“You’re gonna need a bigger boat”, one of the most famous quotes in cinema history.

My wife watched this for the very first time a few nights ago. I didn't know how she'd react to it, but surprisingly she was into it! By the time Brody blew "Bruce's" head off she was yelling: "Just keep shooting!" A great movie that still holds up. ❤👍

Quint is showing signs of PTSD from his Japan shark experience. Nobody caught that.

I don't think anyone was really ready for this. Spielberg made us avoid sharks and look for aliens. I love you guys, love your channels. Keep up the good work.

Spielbergs 'close encounters" Has to be on the list same actor in that one. He was brilliant.. Never evee looked at a bowl of mash potatoes the same way.

"This is going to make me not go in the ocean." said Jay!!! It made a generation worldwide not want to go in the water!!!! I still don't.

Alex Kintner was the boy who was attacked out on his raft -- Several decades after the filming of Jaws (1975), Lee Fierro, who plays Mrs. Kintner, walked into a seafood restaurant and noticed that the menu had an "Alex Kintner Sandwich". She commented that she had played his mother so many years ago. The owner of the restaurant ran out to meet her - none other than Jeffrey Voorhees, who had played her son. They hadn't seen each other since the original movie shoot.

Three things: I didn’t go swimming for years after watching Jaws. Wouldn’t even swim in the pool bc I was afraid a shark might come out of the drain! Second, the story of the USS Indianapolis was a true story. That was a great touch Spielberg threw into the movie. Lastly, look closely towards the end of the film. There’s at least two meteors caught flying through the sky. Great pick as always. Can’t wait to see more!🔥🤙

47 years after it came out, this movie still packs a wallop. And everything about the production is amazing: photography, effects, writing, acting, and of course, the score. I saw this in the theater when I was 13 years old and people were screaming like the shark was in the damn lobby.

Amber: “Are you crazy, this is a very ill-behaved shark.” OMG, I was laughing so hard!

"This is a very ill-behaved shark." Best line in the video! :)

Jaws (1975): "You'll never go in the water again." This movie made everyone think of sharks differently. It also made them think twice about going swimming in the sea, which is precisely why this tagline earned a spot on our list.

Not even 10 mins and watching you two is just priceless!!! Just wait, you’ll both never forget the music when the shark is coming lol

Great reactions! Peter Benchley, who has a cameo in the movie as the newsman on the beach, wrote the slim little novel titled Jaws that was a big hit with readers in 1974. Like the works of Michael Crichton, it was perfect for screen adaptation and Spielberg did a fantastic job! This is a real classic and I enjoyed seeing you experience it like we all did back then for the first time. Now let me save you some precious hours of your future - this was the last great Jaws film. The success of the first movie had execs wanting more money and sequels were spawned, each one worse than the one before. And while this original Jaws is considered one of the best movies ever made, they milked the “franchise” they created until the final one is a joke and considered one of the worst movies of all time. Don’t bother watching any more Jaws flicks and keep the magic of this first great film in your hearts!

Remember...no CGI.... all real effects, models etc. Simply amazing stuff.

That jump scare where you see the shark through the hole in the boat was REEEEEEEEEEALY scary in the theater when I saw this in its first run. The entire theater reacted just like Amber did.

This is the first movie reaction I have watched from you guys. I always enjoy watching your music reactions. As I started watching this, I just thought to myself "I like these people". It probably sounds odd because it's "just the internet" but seeing you two is like seeing friends. It's really comforting to see how well you two get along.

48 years in and Mr. Spielberg's ability to move this movie's audience like puppets on strings is clearly on the screen.

This movie is almost 50 years old, and has made generations of people afraid of the water. Thanks to David Attenborough, I learned that sharks are okay, part of the ocean, and nowhere near the threat that this movie made it out to be. But I'm still scared of open water because of this movie. I love sharks now. From a distance

**me snickering when Amber started the reaction by saying that she didn’t think a movie from the ‘70’s could have good enough special effects to scare her! I have 2 words for you (ha ha): Steven Spielberg. Great reaction! Thanks for doing it!

When Amber said, "I'm only going in (the ocean) up to my ankles." Then at the end, "I'm never going to get in the water again!" That is exactly how everyone in North America felt that year! I was a kid at the time, but recall not wanting to go to a beach ever again. Luckily it faded away in time. But, that movie was so powerful like none other. Great watching it with you.

My best friend saw Jaws in the theatre when it came out. When the ominous dud, duh, duh started up when the girl was in the water, my friend said a woman in the very front of the theater stood up and yelled "GUUUURL, YOU BETTAH GIT OUTTA THAT WATER, DON'T YOU HEAR THAT MUSIC?!" During one of the scariest parts and everybody was laughing their butts off!

I had a friend who's mother was pregnant with them when this movie came out. She was at the drive-in seeing it when she went into labor. She refused to leave until the movie was over because she wanted to know how it ended

The First Summer Blockbuster. Before this movie, film studios treated the summer film season like a time to show B-movies, re-releases, and indie-type films. Jaws changed all that. It's a masterpiece in letting you "imagine" what you're scared of, rather than actually seeing it fully. Great reaction!

This was the scariest movie to me when it came out . I still think about sharks every time I go swimming in the ocean 😂 Amber your so tender hearted , Jay your so funny 😆 hugs to both of you🙋🏻‍♀️

This movie caused such an attendance drop to the beach the government had to issue public announcements that the benches were safe and even had shark alerts. It was hilarious and awesome. We had the whole beach to ourselves. Also my mother made me learn to type on the typewriter without mistakes. She was a notary and got tired of typing. The great thing about this movie, you have to use your imagination to picture the monster until the end. That really had not been done. Oceanographers still don't know that much about sharks because most of their life is spent deep in the oceans, and the scientists still cannot go that low. I mean we know more about the moon than what is underwater

Favourite line, “We’re gonna need a bigger boat”…..

John William’s iconic score won a well deserved Academy Award .

I saw this at the drive-in when I was a kid. The 2 boys playing the shark break were brothers in real life. The younger brother is now the sheriff in the town where they filmed it. The Indianapolis that Quint was on was a cruiser in WWII that took the A-Bombs to their launch points. It was sunk, and sharks tore apart the survivors.

You two are killing me…. First the talk of using a phone with a cord then a typewriter…. Making me feel old!

Greatest movie of all time. Fun fact: Scheider saying 'you're gonna need a bigger boat' was not in the script... he ad libbed the line.

“Jaws” was filmed in Massachusetts on an island called Martha’s Vineyard. Also, the beer that Quint drinks and crushes the can is a New England regional beer called Narragansett. They have a brewery in Providence, RI. One of their advertising campaigns features Quint with the slogan, “Honor the Man! Crush the Can!” If you go on the brewery that have all sorts of Quint related merchandise.

Yeah - the barrel allows the men on the boat to track where the shark is - but they also prevent the shark from diving deeper. The bigger and stronger the shark, the more barrels it takes.

So glad you enjoyed this, such an incredible piece of movie history... remarkably the "old skipper" Quint actor was Robert Shaw, aged just 47 during filming.

I've seen Jaws about 3000 times It is my all- time favorite movies.

One of the best movies ever made.

I saw this in the theater with my dad in 1975 and I’ll never forget how scared I was when the guys head popped out of the hole in the boat! It still gets me to this day. I really got a kick out of watching you both jump when you saw it for the first time!

Fun fact: the reporter doing the news story on the Fourth of July was played by Peter Benchley, who is the author of the novel Jaws, the book that started it all.

Oh, here's another movie with Richard Dreifuss for you: "Mr. Holland's Opus". It's absolutely wonderful, and it has a nice Beatles element to it. And as a bonus, it's about a teacher. I know you'll absolutely love it.

I was 14 when this came out. To this day, I've never been in a theater where everyone screamed in unison multiple times during the film. Terrifying, but so much fun and such a great movie.

“Lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a dolls eyes” one of the best monologues ever.

”Is it supposed to be scary though? It’s about a shark!”😂 A wee bit scary eh?

So many great moments throughout the movie but one of my favorites that didn’t need to be in the movie but it adds so much to it is the scene where the son is copying Brodie and he notices and started playing back with him. Just a really wonderful human moment.

The music was composed by the absolute legend John Williams! Star Wars, Superman, ET, Raiders, close encounters!!! The man was a genius

I was 10 years old when I went to watch Jaws the first BLOCKBUSTER. The theater had 3 screens . Two of the screens were used for Jaws, but the line was still 2 blocks long. They could not get the shark to work for the first part of the movie. They used suspense so when the shark finally show up it scared everyone in the audience.

FUN FACT: The reporter on the beach is none other than the author of "Jaws," Peter Benchley!

This movie put Steven Spielberg on the map. This was also the first "blockbuster" summer movie.

Robert Shaws monologue, and his amazing manner and acting skill, was the best movie moment I’ve ever seen. And there are many great movie moments. I always remember every word of this one. He was AN ACTOR.

one of the greatest movie quotes ever: "you're gonna need a bigger boat ". The barrel is full of air - supposed to limit the sharks' ability to go under water and stay under water which will tire out the shark and make it easier to catch/kill the shark.

The age of a movie certainly doesn’t determine quality. Jaws is so well known to this day because it’s a wonderful example of quality filmmaking. I’m so happy you enjoyed it!!

Fun fact! "In the cage scene when he was in the cage he was actually attacked by a real shark before the prop one came the fear was really real"

The music from this movie was iconic. John Williams wrote the music. He is known for Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, Indiana Jones, E.T., Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan and three Harry Potter instalments.

This movie traumatized a whole generation that grew up in the 70's. I was 7 when my dad took me and the neighbor to see it. Thanks dad!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="319">5:19</a> -- The film was shot on an island called Martha's Vineyard.. The little boy who played Alex Kintner is Jeffery Voorhees and he still lives there.. :)

There's a reason why Spielberg refuses to release his copyrights to this movie, because no one will ever be able to remake it and have it be as amazing as this

Fun fact: The scene where the boy's mother slaps the Chief? The actress had never done a stage slap before, so she really smacked him. Scheider stayed in character and the take made the final cut.

Well done. This movie scared the sh*t out of all us in the day. Imagine watching this on the big screen in a dark movie theater. I had been scuba diving for years when I first saw this, and it took me years afterward to do it again. Jaws was the movie for which the term “Summer Blockbuster“ was coined.

That opening Scene had people literally SCREAMING at the Theaters when it came out! Lots of people would LEAVE THE THEATER!

It makes it even better when you find out Hooper(Richard Dreyfuss) and Quint(Robert Shaw) actually hated each other in real life. And Robert Shaw was actually drunk during his speech. Great stuff.

as soon as you said something like digital effects are so important to scary movies. I knew we were in for a ride. Everyone underestimates the power of a strong story and great practical effects.

The "jump scare" is masterfully done and I really appreciated both your reactions! When my parents originally watched this in the theatre, my mom screamed and involuntarily squeezed her large Coke, dousing the stranger sitting next to her with soda.

When the shark was pulling multiple barrels under you were talking about Quint being confident, at that point he was very quickly losing that confidence. Those barrels are very bouyant, so they're constantly exerting an upward force trying to float to the surface. The fact that this thing could take 3 barrels under *shouldn't* happen, but it did, and Quint is now completely out of his element. He thought he was just going to catch another shark, but this thing is different.

EVERY tv show and movie you see, where someone says, "You're gonna need a bigger boat," now you know where it came from.

No way a movie this old can be scary and jumpy?.... clearly "The Exorcist" has to be next. Great reaction and a great movie. I'm a big fan of Jaws. Definitely check out The Exorcist next....still horrifying to this day.

"You're going to need a Bigger Boat!!" One of the most iconic lines in movies, ever!

The true genius of this movie is that the shark is just a subjective camera, acting, and above else John Williams' masterful score for about an hour and a half and you still feel its presence and its menace. The music IS the shark so much so that if you pay attention, in the false scares and warnings you could say the shark isn't really there because there's no dum-dum dum-dum dum-dum playing.

"You're going to need a bigger boat" is one of Hollywood's most iconic lines, And I've read that Roy Scheider ad-libed it on the spot.

Loving these 70/80s movie reviews.

My gf and I saw Jaws in the theater again about 4 or 5 years ago and we were so amazed at how well it still holds up! I hadn't seen it in forever and I was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie was. A real classic!

that look in Quint's eyes at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1687">28:07</a> just says it all. A dead on stare that reads terror, adrenaline rush and awe, all rolled up in one, at the size of the fish coming straight at them.

BTW, that famous line in this movie @ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="492">8:12</a> "That's some bad hat Harry", was adopted by a film production company as their name, called, "Bad Hat Harry" Productions. Bad Hat Harry Productions has produced many great and iconic titles such as: "The X-Men", "X-2", "X-Men:Apocalypse", "X-Men: Days of Future's Past", "The Usual Suspects", "Apt Pupil", "Jack The Giant Slayer", and "Dark Phoenix". By the way, I highly suggest that you guys react to "The Usual Suspects", and "Apt Pupil". These are two amazing films!!! "Jack the Giant Slayer" is also a very well done telling of the historic Jack and the Beanstalk story, and really fun to watch.
