The atmospherics built up simply with the music and Shark's eye views is unrivalled by any modern films that claim to "scare the crap out of you", compared to Jaws they look like Bearded ladies in Tutus.
One of Jaws' only weaknesses is the fact they decided to show the Shark fully out of the water, which made it look rubberized and slightly weak. More credit should go to Jaws in that even creating a Shark out of water scene rivalled the modern CGI trickery used to create the Anaconda in the film of the same name.
A bloody fantastic film, one up there with "The Deer Hunter" in the 'watch before you die' league.
*feels cool*
The Shark in the water was a real shark though, they had a tam-er Great White that they'd managed to shoot the sequences with (all of the swimming ones, not the cage biting scene)
