The ultimate Summer movie — beach, action, special effects, and a hearkening back to simpler times. The 1975 classic JAWS will be featured at Movies in the Park tonight.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, the film features Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss, Lorraine Gray and Murray Hamilton as well as Bruce the Shark. It also features the iconic score by John Williams. Nominated for four Academy Awards, it won three: Score, Sound and Film Editing. The only Oscar it lost was Best Picture.
