best ocean movies list - Jaws 2

Often forgot about because first Jaws movie was so good and directed by Steven Spielberg.  Spielberg sat out the sequel as he said he had such a horrible time at sea during the production.  Many of the original cast hung on to make a great follow up to the greatest shark movie ever made.  Years after the shark attacks that left Amity Island reeling, Sheriff Martin Brody (Roy Schneider) finds new trouble lurking in the waters. Mayor Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) wants to rid the beach town of the stain on its reputation. But the disappearance of a pair of divers suggests that all is not right. When Sheriff Brody voices his warnings about holding a sailing competition, everyone thinks it’s PTSD.
