classic movie music, and of course it came from the gawd of movie sound tracks, John Williams.

The movie came out when I was 8, and all the teens at our church were raving about it, so I begged my parents to take me to see it, which they flatly refused. There would be a time when I could finally enjoy the film, but that was not then, so good call on their part.

I began a tradition of sorts many years ago. I purchased a 25th anniversary edition dvd when it was released, and each July 4th if my schedule allows, I pull it out and watch it. A timeless classic

Scene where the diver encounters the shark-chomped remains of a victim made me jump pretty high.
