Shark Movies
List of the top 15 Shark Movies available on DVD. Obviously, Jaws takes the top 4 since even though they got progressively worse, they’re still the best ones ever – even the terrible Michael Caine one. Remember that classic scene from Jaws 1 when Roy Scheider says “We’re gonna need a bigger boat”.

 |
| JAWS The best Shark Movie EVER. Spielberg, Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and some crazy drunk. |
JAWS 2 JAWS is back and this time he’s after Roy Scheider’s hippy kids. |
JAWS 3 This time Roy Scheider is missing and JAWS goes after Dennis Quaid. |
 |
 |
 |
| JAWS 4 The Revenge JAWS goes after Roy Scheider’s wife. Best bit: Michael Caine’s helicopter gets eaten. |
Deep Blue Sea Renny Harlin’s CGI sharkfest. |
Open Water Low budget and mostly just two people treading water. |
 |
 |
 |
| Shark Attack There’s blood in the water. |
Shark Attack 2 Cool DVD cover – bad acting. |
Shark Attack 3 Megalodon Best bit: A man on a jetski gets eaten whole. |
 |
 |
 |
| 12 Days of Terror This is a docudrama about the real case that inspired Peter Benchley to write JAWS. |
Red Water Ah, who cares? There’s some swimmers and they get themselves eaten. Probably. |
Hammerhead Shark Frenzy Scraping the bottom of the barrel/sea here. |
 |
 |
 |
| The Deep Jaqueline Bissett, nick Nolte, treasure hunting, scuba diving and a shark. |
Mission of the Shark Great true story about a US Navy ship sinking and survivors getting picked off one by one by sharks. |
Shark Hunter In stark contrast to JAWS, in this one, the guy actually has a grudge against the shark. It ate his daddy. |
