The impact of "Jaws," ...
IMO, Jaws is the scariest movie ever made. To this day I still tense up during certain scenes - and I've probably seen the movie 50+ times!

IMO, Jaws is the scariest movie ever made

I remember that around 2001 there were a lot of "lists" of various things from the 20th century. One was the American Film Institute running lists of "best" movies in the various genres. In Horror, Jaws came in number one.
