Outside Magazine has rated the all-time shark movies, and while most are stinkers, one can never forget either
Jaws or Open Water (which clearly should have made the
#2 slot). This year's 47 Meters Down is rife with technical errors about diving, though if a diver can overlook that
stuff, it might be worth a rental. Of course, Hollywood
will never stop demonizing sharks, so we divers might
as well get over it and have a laugh or two, largely at
the filmmaker's expense.
Here's the list.
1. Jaws (1975) Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 97 percent
2. Deep Blue Sea (1999) Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 57
percent
3. The Shallows (2016) Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 77
percent
4. 47 Meters Down (2017) Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 55

5. Open Water (2004) Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 72

6. Avalanche Sharks (2013) Rotten Tomatoes Rating:
