Why It's Great

 * 1) It does everything it can to capture the feel of the original, which is more than what you could say about the next two followups
 * 2) Some of the original actors return, including Roy Scheider as Chief Brody
 * 3) It really gets us rooting for Brody to defeat the shark and rescue the teenagers
 * 4) Having teenagers isolated in the middle of the ocean with a killer shark and only a string of boats tied together really ups the ante, and makes us hope that Brody rescues them in time
 * 5) The shark attacks are always a thrill to watch
