Jaws: Anniversary Edition

5

Forget Schindler's List, this fishy thriller is still Steven Spielberg's best movie. The tale of a great white shark terrorising a seaside community has as much bite now as the day the then-beardless wünderkind made it.

DVD Extras:

Fifty-minute making-of documentary, deleted scenes, outtakes, photo/sketch gallery, trailers, shark trivia game, screensavers, notes. Don't be fooled by the huge list of extras - - this is a shambling mess. The documentary is good but it's exactly the same one as the one on the anniversary VHS. The deleted scenes and 720-strong photo gallery are not organised into sub-menus - you have to slog through them in order (and the best ones already feature in the documentary). There are only two sets of outtakes (and dull ones at that). There's no director or cast/crew commentary, and be careful if you buy this for the DVD-Rom features (production notes, screensavers, game), because they're almost impossible to find, thanks to an awfully designed menu system.
