On November 15th, Steven Spielberg’s 1975 summer blockbuster Jaws will stop streaming on Netflix alongside its three sequels – Jaws 2, Jaws 3, and Jaws: The Revenge. This means that the entire Jaws franchise will no longer be available to stream on Netflix at considerably the worst time, as 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the original film, which Tarantino hailed during an appearance on the ReelBend podcast in 2022 as “the greatest movie ever made. Maybe not the greatest film. But it’s the greatest movie ever made.” The famed filmmaker added that “as far as a movie, there’s no making it better than Jaws. There’s no ‘better’ than Jaws. It is the best movie ever made.”
Jaws Is One of the Most Influential Movies of All Time
Although Spielberg initially feared Jaws would end his career, there’s no understating just how influential the movie was. The movie started the summer blockbuster trend with an extensive marketing campaign and an, at the time, unprecedented wide release strategy that saw the film release on hundreds of screens and, resulting in Jaws becoming the first film to surpass $100 million in the U.S. before it grossed a worldwide total of over $495 million. The movie was also well-received by critics and audiences alike and currently holds a “Certified Fresh” critic score on Rotten Tomatoes at 97%.
