A best seller in 1974 and a major motion picture in 1975 Jaws is one of the most well known movies ever made. Ads for the showing of this movie were featured in the 1975 Panther Tales with the price of admission as $2.50. The movie Jaws set in motion the fear that people have for sharks today and the shark movie phenomenon that is still being carried on now with movies like 47 Meters Down and The Shallows.

Not only is Jaws a well known movie, it is also a book that came out in 1974. Another thing that the movie Jaws is known for is the iconic theme song that most people use when they know something bad is coming. Even though this movie was released 42 years ago, it is still as iconic as ever and will continue to inspire future shark movies onto the big screens.
