Jaws – ITV 4 – 9pm
In our pick for tonight, a killer shark terrorises a beach community as a local sheriff (Roy Scheider), a marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and an old seafarer (Robert Shaw) become determined to hunt the beast down.
Widely considered the prototypical “blockbuster” or “event film”, with its great performances, tense set-pieces, and of course, iconic score, Jaws still remains thrilling nearly 50 years after its release.
It also put its young whippersnapper director Steven Spielberg on the map and terrified many viewers away from stepping foot in the ocean.
