Jaws: Massively underrated film in 2014

This is widely considered a great movie. I don't know anyone who "underrates" it.

Mentioned this movie to 20 guys in their early 20s and they were like "wut"

Amazingly for an Oscar winning movie, it's still seems relevant.

However, it didn't do any good for the reputation of sharks.

The chances of being killed by a shark are 1 in 11.5 million.

Exactly half of the victims of fatal shark attacks are surfers.

20% of shark attacks in the US occur between 2pm and 3pm.

I'm not saying sharks are dangerous, but is the 1 in 11.5mil odd for people going in the water? Or just of the entire population, whether or not they go in the waters?

I don't know but I'm not taking any chances.

I'm not going in the water AND I'm moving to Crimea each day between 2pm and 3pm!

haha. I always wonder the same thing when people throw around stats about shark attacks. Here in the Midwest my chances of a shark attack are a LOT lower than some surfer off the coast of South Africa.

Jaws is a old time classic that scared the shizz out of everyone. I was a little kid at the time and was afraid to go in my bathtub after I saw the movie at the drive in with my parents. Yes, i said drive in movie! Haha

I don't fricking know. 90% of statistics are made up anyway.

The chance of getting killed by a serial killer is like 1 in a million if you're not a truck stop prostitute. But half the damn shows on TV are about them.
