The best shark movies, ranked

19. Jaws: revenge (1987)

This time, it’s personal. The unfortunate widow Ellen Brody (Lorraine Gary) heads for the Bahamas to visit her son, Michael (Lance guest), and guess who follows?

The fourth and final Jaws The film is not good. But Michael Caine passes to lend him a class. Who cares if his khaki shirt is wet and then mysteriously dry in the same scene? It is not a film to separate with logic. There are beyond reasoning in a shark film universe where the questions are asked, the better. –Chris Nashawaty

18 Tintorera: killer shark (1977)

No one was faster to tear Jaws And launch a multitude of low -budget counterfeits than the Italians. With the Hugo Stiglitz and the free and free nudity of Hugo Stiglitz – Tintore would be a favorite by Quentin Tarantino. It’s easy to see why.

Between the Swingin ‘Bed-Hopping, its sweaty disco atmosphere and the presence of a third level star at Priscilla Barnes (Future Compagnie des Trois Terra roommate) is a film that seems to be tailor -made for a double feature of the 70s. I mean, it’s a hoe. –Cn

17 Tide (2012)

Essentially, a South African honeymoon at the start of Africa for Halle Berry and a future ex-Mari Olivier Martinez, VOD, VOD Tide Starts the Oscars winner as an expert of the debt sharks which has so badly needed in cash that she reluctantly accepts to get extremely basic businessmen on her boat to dive in cage. Glub! –Cn

16 JAWS 3-D (1983)

This Jaws The epitler remains only notable for his star casting, which is much better than he has the right to be (Dennis Quaid, Bess Armstrong, Lea Thompson, Louis Gossett Jr.).

The Brody brothers meet in SeaWorld, where Michael is now working and where a big white has also penetrated the underwater barricades of the park. I saw this one in the theater with the 3D specifications in red and blue cardboard and I remember laughing more than howling, but, by all means, I did it. –Cn

15 Night Shark 3D (2011)

Speaking of SO-BAD-BAD-OKAY SEALS FILMS, from the director of Final destination 2 And Snakes on an airplane This howler comes about a swarm of deadly sharks who terrorize a group of excited students and the party party who think they are safe on vacation on a lake.

But wait, it’s a salt water lake! Having seen it on the cable, I cannot guarantee its 3D effects, but if we have to judge the rest of the film, then I cannot imagine that they are very good. However, you could do worse at 3 am by a white night. –Cn

14 Sharktopus (2010)

When Jaws was released in 1975, a clever critic said that it was nothing more than Roger Corman B-Picture improved by a big budget. I don’t think it’s true. But, in any case, Corman would eventually make the favor by producing this monster monster Syfy with a CGI-Costopus hybrid manifestly CGI.

Forget that it looks more like a half-squid than a half-cottopus shark and to deposit it in the same Schlocky category as these disposable comedies and flavored to the CHUM as Mega shark against giant octopus (2009), 2 -headed shark attack (2012), Jurassic attack (2012), Ghost shark (2013), and, of course, the venerable Sharknado Series of films. –Cn

13 The Meg 2: The Trench (2023)

Jason Statham returns as aquatic James Bond The Meg 2: The Trench. Although this B-MOVIE conducted by Ben Wheatley has not made as many in the box office as the original, it takes the action at 25,000 feet in the Mariana trench-where Statham and his team fall on a evil mining operation and go face to face with the biggest megalodons to date to this day.

This gloriously without brain sheath, if bad-it, works when you go to its absurdity. From Statham Fistfighting Megs on a ski jet For the pov blows of the shark mouth that cross the casting, it is a ridiculous spectacle of clumsy nonsense, quirky humor and unexpected cinematography. As for the next step in this Sharksploitation franchise? We organize space for an extraterrestrial megalodon! –James Mercadante

12 Tall white (1981)

Another Italian Jaws Coup, B-Film Maestro Enzo G. Castellari Tall whitealias Ultimo Squalois quite slow and incredibly cheesy, but it is by a handful of Hollywood macho expatriates (James Franciscus, Vic Morrow making a poor man) chewing the landscape as if they were digging in a plate of Bolognese pasta. Universal continued to have him fired in theaters, quoting his shameless copier of Jaws. They were not wrong. –Cn

11 Shark! (1969)

Three years before Issuance Would transform it into a movie star in good faith, Burt Reynolds played a Gunrunner and made a damp combination to go Mano a mano with the most effective killing machine of nature in the Lite-On-Thrills by Sam Fuller. The intrigue is Cussler pure hemingway-by-way clive, with its villains of treasure hunters. But bonus points for its ousted framework of the Red Sea (even if it was really shot in Mexico). –Cn

10 Find Nemo (2003)

Yes, there is a shark in it. His name is Bruce. And if you are 5 years old and you think you are about to watch a harmless pixar film, well, it can be damn frightening. Do Find Nemo Belonging to these other films? No, not really. So consider this as a cleaner for the palace on the list of lists. –Cn

9. The reef (2010)

If a direct video suite Free water did not already exist, this intermediate Australian adventure could have replaced it. Five friends sail towards Indonesia, Yacht Channe, and they are surrounded by lifeless eyes (“like the eyes of a doll” … a different film, but you have the idea). I did not expect this one much, so I was pleasantly surprised. –Cn

8 47 meters below (2017)

Rushed into theaters to capitalize on the success of The shallows The previous summer, this Mandy Moore cage diving film should really be better than it is. But that does not mean that he does not have his moments.

Moore and Claire Holt play sisters looking for thrills that are talked about in the most reckless Mexican vacation excursions and pay the price. 47 meters below Cry a little on shark stuff, but the presence of an apparently foaming Matthew modin adds spices. Let’s call it a draw. –Cn

7 Jaws 2 (1978)

Yes, this is a fairly steep meeting of Spielberg’s brilliant original. But if it is looked at in a void, it’s a bit of fairly decent disposable pleasure. With Robert Shaw’s Quint previously changed to death and Hooper by Richard Dreyfuss too smart to return for sloppy seconds, the continuation follows the Brody clan (Martin de Roy Scheider, Lorraine Gary’s Eileen, and not Si-Lit-Anymore Michael and Sean).

The highest point is a flotilla of adolescents on boats tied together like a smorgasbord of seafood, but the absurd view of a large white eating a rescue helicopter in stationary flight has a certain I don’t know what. –Cn

6. The Meg (2018)

The Stath becomes medieval on a prehistoric megalodon which slipped through a breach at the bottom of the ocean. A romantic intrigue with a scientist (Li Bingbing) is a bit laughable and completely useless, but The Meg Book giant shark chaos even if it could have used a little more gore than the PG-13 note allows. –Cn

5 The shallows (2016)

Blake Lively embodies Nancy, a surfer who goes on vacation to the Mexican beach to overcome the death of his mother. It’s not okay. With the shore in sight, the injured Nancy is blocked to fight a killer shark with nothing more than his mind (and a seagull, which becomes his Wilson volleyball). –Cn

4 Free water (2003)

A couple (Daniel Travis and Blanchard Ryan) leaves on a group’s scuba diving trip to be left behind at the end of the day. Fuling water in the middle of the ocean while night falls, alone without anyone coming back for them, they must fight terrors that they cannot see below. The power of suggestion encounters primordial fear. –Cn

3 and 3 Blue water, white dead (1971)

Peter Gimbel’s documentary and James Lipscomb on the perfect killing machine of nature is previous Jaws By four years, but it contains an equally difficult white handle punch. Two of the film / submarine photographers of the film, Ron and Valerie Taylor, would later turn the real images of second unit sharks that Spielberg spoke in his film. –Cn

2 Deep blue sea (1999)

This time, the Sharks are not only fatal, they are intelligent. Genetically improved with intelligence – an artistic experience that everyone could easily predict would end with a breathtaking co -pump shot, the vertiginous dread film by Renny Harlin obtains high brands for a particular Gotcha scene. You know that one. –Cn

1 and 1 Jaws (1975)

Steven Spielberg’s grandfather of all the great white films is not only great for a shark film, it’s a great film period. A masterpiece, in fact. The defective mechanical monster of Spielberg has forced the director to be intelligent, suggestive and Hitchcockian – the most scary moments of the film are those where you don’t do it See what is under water pipe, but anticipate this could be.

Come for carnage (Rip Little Alex Kintner), stay for the scary character moments (Shaw’s USS Indianapolis speech like Quint). –Cn
