Shark Week

For this blog post I will be directing my attention to the top 5 best shark movies, even though they are some of the cheesiest films you can watch. I was going to talk about quarantine movies but I think we need a change of pace from the virus going around. So feet your feet out of the water while your reading this and let me know if I miss any good movies.

5.) Deep Blue Sea (1999)

Deep Blue Sea is quite the cheesy movie but it is indeed a classic with a cast including Samuel L. Jackson and LL Cool J, you gotta watch a movie LL Cool J is in. Basically they have an underground lab studying shark stuff and things go horribly wrong. Not exactly sure wear you can stream it right now but if you find it give it a watch.

4.) The Shallows (2016)

I’ll admit, Blake Lively pretty much makes this whole movie. But, Jaume did a good job directing a suspenseful movies that wasn’t full of too many gruesome scenes and seems like a situation somebody could actually be in. The reviews are good on it as well but unfortunately there’s no streaming services with it on right now so you may have to rent it.

3.) Open Water (2003)

I put Open Water at the three spot because it is not like traditional shark movies, I wanted to put it higher on the list but this movie isn’t for everybody. It is much more realistic in terms of how somebody could be placed in a situation involving the worry of a shark attack. A couple gets left out in the middle of the ocean during a scuba diving trip and have to tread water and hope for rescue.

2.) The Meg (2018)

Granted it is cheesy, very cheesy, but it combines a decent action movie into the suspense of a shark movie. Jason Statham was the perfect lead actor for this movie by providing a great action movie feel. The movie is about a research center learning about the bottom of the ocean and release a giant megalodon that terrorizes people.

1.) Jaws (1975)

Jaws is without a doubt the most popular shark movie of all time, which was followed up by 3 more Jaws movies that were not as good. This movie changed the way people viewed swimming in a pool in 1975. It created an irrational fear of sharks throughout the world and created an entire genre of movies to follow it. But if you haven’t seen this movie, you’re lying.
