"You're gonna need a bigger boat." One of the most chilling lines in the film, uttered by Roy Scheider, belongs to Jaws, one of Steven Spielberg's first feature films and the first feature film to gross $100 million at the box office. That's right: we have this film to thank for the term "summer blockbuster."

Jaws is one of those perfect films that combines adventure and horror, from the infamous opening sequence of Chrissie Watkins' death to the final showdown between Roy Scheider's Chief Brody and the killer shark. We should also give credit to the Ben Gardner head shot, hands down one of the best jump scares in history! You'll find questions about these and more on this Jaws trivia quiz.
