Title: A new classic restored
Review: I owned the previous DVD edition of "Jaws" and decided to upgrade to the Blu-ray after reading a glowing review about the transfer in Entertainment Weekly. I wasn't disappointed. The film looks better than I've ever see it before. It is almost as if extra lighting was placed in some of the scenes. The picture is crisp, colorful and pops off the screen. The moonlit scenes, chiefly the opening sequence, is stunning in its clarity. I also noticed how incredible the sound is. The scene where Quint runs his nails down the chalkboard never really bothered me before but here it is excruciating. Plentiful extras include 2 documentaries, the best being the most recent "The Shark is Still Working" which contains fascinating interviews with actors (even those in bit parts) and an intimate look at Verna Fields studio. The older documentary is a bit sluggish and repetitive but sill worth a look. Unfortunately, no commentary. This Blu-ray edition is a must have for fans!
