I remember June1975 when my mother took us and our friends to see this movie. People laughed, cheered, booed. It was a “happening”. Greatest adventure movie ever, it took over that whole summer, the first summer blockbuster. I went to a showing of Jaws for the 40th anniversary of the release of the movie. I still watch it at least once a year, and have read the novel many times. My favorite movie. 🦈

Yes my parents took us and a couple friends to see it too in the summer of 75. I was 8 yrs old. I agree with everything you said. It was a “happening”. We all left the movie theater speechless. It still is the most iconic movie i have ever seen.
Everybody talks about the shark theme, but the adventure score in the second half of the film is just amazing.
In 1975 Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” bite audiences in theatres worldwide. There is nothing really to mention what hasn’t been already said. It is a thrilling adventure for the big screen, with a perfect cast such as Roy Scheider as the beloved Chief Martin Brody and Robert Shaw in the role of his life as the menacing Quint. Based on many unwanted accidents, such as the prominent star of the picture, shark Bruce, who refused to cooperate with the filmmakers, the film ended up being what it is today: A masterpiece. To get a bit personal: this movie was it, that made my ears go wild, watching the movie but with the feeling of listening to a concert. Since I watched it for the first time, I collected about everything there is: Original movie posters that hung in theatres at the time, soundtracks on every format, books and so on. But most important, it started my love for film scores. I remember after watching the movie, getting back to the start of it and finding “Music by John Williams” written there, whoever that was… On that day the doors of film music heaven opened, to speak in a very exaggerated way. However, it has taken 40 years to get Williams’ Academy Award winning score a deserved release by Intrada Records. Because of copyright reasons it has taken another four years until we finally have the music on this site. It was of course impossible for me to put all the beloved music into an acceptable 15-minute presentation, but I hope it will leave an image of Williams’ versatility and genius as a composer with the quiet passages, such as “Father And Son”, the bass heavy pieces, such as “The Pier Incident”, the colorful Korngoldian “Great Chase” and so on. I hope you enjoy it!

Nice to know it was the first motivation for your great work here Fred! Really unforgetable and amazing movie. Gave me nightmares for a long time, including avoiding beaches. Thank you very much for your work! I've luckly bumped into it today and will reccomend and follow it!
John Williams has a real sensitivity that film composers of today don't know
The themes created by John Williams are almost a separate character, make you review a movie one scene every moment we hear, you immediately feel the same feelings of being in the cinema watching those scenes for the first time, that's how it is with Jaws, Superman, Star Wars and etc .... Fantastic John Williams

Lots of Aaron Copeland in this music. And Dvorak.
The music is so powerful that even here on my bed on dry land, I feel like any minute the wall is going to be destroyed by a gigantic shark. This is the absolute best. If you’re able to convey terror through music, you’ve created a masterpiece. Pure genius.
I know the theme for the shark is the mist popular part of the score but for me, I love the "Crew of the Orca" theme. 6:18
Great theme! It's hilarious they used it on the opening to "Airplane!" too,with the back wing going through the clouds like a shark's fin!!
1975. The summer that began my 15 years of absence from playing in the ocean. It's not just Bruce the shark that kept me out. John Williams' music was a big contributor to my fear of the ocean thanks to this soundtrack that continues to this day to play in my head when I'm at the beach and remotely think of re-entering the ocean. Kudos to you, Mr. Williams.
The score that skyrocketed John's popularity in the film industry and officially marked his fellowship with Spielberg and almost every film he's directed. The first true summer blockbuster. Love watching "Jaws" around every July 4th.
I’ve always loved this end theme to Jaws. I’d always watch closely as Brody and Hooper slowly swam ashore. I always wondered if it was actually Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss or just two random crew members they put out there as doubles. It’s such a peaceful end credits
I still think that this is one of the greatest soundtracks ever made.

I agreee!
Saw this movie on the day it opened in NYC, and after I calmed down I realized I had to get the OST! Fortunately, the OST became readily available in Manhattan, and it became one of my favorite scores.
Utterly brilliant movie and soundtrack
saw this one in the theatre right after it came out. lived at the beach. didn't swim in the water for a LONG time!

So ingrained is the John Williams score to the film that another composer doing it is now completely unimaginable GET OUT OF THE WATER🏊🐋
Truly magnificent!! I'm standing on the shoreline at dawn and this music is totally befitting
Steven Spielberg as director and John Williams makes the soundtrack-what could possibly go wrong?

Than someone as my drunk. Makes a dark joke and works.
Speilberg had some doubts about using just two notes....He should never have doubted John Williams....What else could this music be about than a large hungry shark.
Amazing score. Brilliant.
Some of this is extremely intimidating music. I'm not surprised this movie was a huge hit
7:51 My Favorite part!
Thanks, Fred! Your suite has convinced me that this a truly great score.

Hello John, wow, what a compliment...! Means a lot to me. Thank you very much! Fred
Dang great movie by an up-coming cinema director(Stephen Spielberg) that had either one or two other movies to his career. This movie I've seen many times and I still can't watch the ending of "Captain Quint" being chewed up by the Great White-Super-Sized! Back when the movie had been released in early Summer of 1975, I was nearing 25 years old. My parents and I tried once or twice to see the movie in Indy...all tickets were sold out. (After that first try, we settled on a good family movie: "Benji". The following weekend we finally saw "Jaws". Still a sold out theater but we managed to get our tickets early enough with a two hour wait. My parents were not able to secure three seats in a row, so, I had to find one available seat not taken...next to a man in his late 40's. Remember the scene of oceanagrapher, Matt Hooper and the nighttime dive he wanted to do to see if the old resident of Martha's Vineyard who liked nighttime fishing survived the shark attack? Well...when that music climaxed to that chewed off head of "Ben's"...I literally grabbed that unknown 40ish year old man by the neck and screamed in his ear! What an embarrassment...and funny laugh That rose up around us. Anyway...the next week I got the soundtrack album and still consider it one of my all-time favorites in my collection. "Jaws II & III" are not as good as the first. (That's fairly true for most movies that try to be better than the first.
I Love The "Ending" Theme In This Soundtrack...... Sounds Just Like Summer To Me. xo
Spielberg + Williams = Magic²
Who still jumps when old Ben head pops out the hole in his boat it's the music too that makes me even tho I seen it countless times

Thank you Fred for posting this. I could not have said it any better than you summing it up in how you feel. This is what all others....including STAR WARS, in how they would be measured by comparison to this masterpiece. I'd recommend posting all of the soundtrack in multiple 15 min videos. Blessings to you sir for doing this....and my heartfelt thanks to John Williams and all that hand a hand in making this masterpiece....

Hello 6Eighty6 Man, and thank you so much for your kind words! The "Jaws" series is on its way I can tell you that. "Star Wars" is a diehard wish of mine, but owned by Disney, it is not realistic to get it into 15 minute presentations, but we will see. Fred

@@SoundtrackFred Thanks Fred, I can't wait for the full Jaws series....God that will be wonderful. So long has this masterpiece by Mr. Williams gone unnoticed by a lot of people that have long since been born after this movie. I saw it in the theatre when I was about 12 one summer when school was out. Rode the old 10-speed bicycle to the movie house in 95 degree heat. Been afraid of the water since. I remember the music as being so "forceful" in complimenting the movie. It was as if Mr. Williams crawled into the mind of the viewer. That whole pier with the wife's roast and that big meat hook was brilliant in how the viewer was saying to the guy "God that shark is turning around and now he's coming after the guy that rode that pier out into the water...hurry! Swim back to shore...and that whole music score there was drilling into my head...that beat... God, I'll never forget that suspense. Thank you once again for taking the time to honor Mr. Williams with posting this so others can hear what they have missed. You're efforts are valued tremendously.

Modern day genius that's John
45 years later, I still love this cinematic achievement, #Jaws 45
Ben Gardners boat music one of the best cues
Yo tenía 11 años en 1976 y viendo esta película en Granada, España, nunca había pasado tanto miedo. Y hoy su música todavía me angustia. Gracias!
Still have my soundtrack record album. 🦈

This movie was such a scare-fest the first time I saw it that I had to see it again and again. No movie was going to keep me away from the theater, LOL! Of course, I had to get the OST, and when a bigger OST came out, I had to get that too! And I just kept seeing more movies scored by John Williams . . .
I was just a child living in santa cruz then half moon bay and this always scared us so bad it like ruined our want for surfing 🌊😔

In the same year (1975) composer Jerry Goldsmith lost oscar by his astonishing score for „The Wind an the Lion“
I've been working on a portrait painting of Quint these past few days and I'm pretty sure a good portion of these views are mine! :D think I'm on the verge of wearing out the repeat button. Brilliantly executed Fred! Thank you once again for putting in the work!!

I was wondering maybe you could also add to your list the soundtrack John Williams did Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983), please.
Once drunk in a party over a cliff at night. I saw people in a beach party in the cove under the cliff. Drinking and swimming in the dark. I asked the friend owner of where We partying. If the loudspeakers were very powerful. Yup, he said. The I suggested if We could made an experiment to test how powerful the loudspeakers were and I suggested pointing at the cove as it would make echo and put Jaws score. He said. You are a bastard! We turned all loudspeakers towards the cove with the other and we put the score. The water got empty in seconds.
Fantastic movie fantastic soundtrack just dont do them like this anymore
Where did the studio chatter on the Main Title come from? I have the Intrada CD and don’t recall hearing it.

Hello there, it was taken from the films 30th Anniversary Collectors Edition on DVD. If I recall correctly, there is a solo program about Williams and the music on the Bonus DVD, besides the typical Making Of program. When you start it you could hear this excerpt from the original recording sessions, before the actual program begins. But not more than the counting and the first note of the main theme. But it is a nice little treat, isn't? Best! Fred
Good 👍
I LOVE JAWS 1 2 AND 4 NOT 3
The movie that taught me never to swim in the ocean
Only pool please.....2019
I don't like Steven Spielberg..but like this film.
