Iconic blockbuster movie JAWS is 50
What age were you when you first heard that immortal phrase, 'I think you're gonna need a bigger boat?'
That line has become one of the most recognisable quotes from the summer blockbuster movie JAWS and recalls the moment when Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) first spots the gigantic shark behind the boat.
The line as been quoted and misquoted countless times and even ranks 35th on 'AFI's List' of the top 100 movie quotes. Jaws. Pic: Universal/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock
The Steven Spielberg directed blockbuster first opened in cinemas on June 20th, 1975, hard to believe it was that long ago, and it still stands as one of the most popular movies of all time.
Actor Richard Dreyfuss, who played Hooper in the movie, admitted that Jaws left him with a lasting fear of the ocean, to the point where he still avoids walking into the sea from a beach. Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss in Jaws. Pic: Everett/REX/Shutterstock
The movie is said to have put the fear of God into audiences and caused many people to develop a lifelong fear of being in deep water.
The movie also marked a turning point in both the history of cinema and public perception of sharks. A crowd of people running out of the water on the set of Jaws. Pic: Glasshouse Images/REX/Shutterstock
JAWS will bring back many memories for movie goers of a certain age and will no doubt make many feel older than they would care to admit, when you remember exactly where you were when that giant shark attacked on the big screen, 50 years ago this summer.

Maya added: "I do this technique where I don't let them tell me who's going until I'm stood in front of them in my ear because I don't want to stare at the person or give away.

A source said: 'Paul and Gracie made sure they went out with a bang. They were partying hard in Block9 until 3.30am and then decided to call it a night. 'They were having to hold each other up during the walk back. "But in a genius move, they hired a man with a red light to walk ahead of them so they had something to follow all the way back to their campsite.' Earlier in the evening, the couple were seen watching Olivia Rodrigo's headline set on the Pyramid Stage, with Gracie even getting up on Paul's shoulders. Elsewhere, former Doctor Who actor Meanwhile, Mel C admitted she was knackered and called it a night at 2am after changing into an on-brand Adidas tracksuit. Better call her Snorey Spice. ALICE ACE IT WOLF ALICE were one of my surprise highlights when they took to the Other Stage for a golden hour slot on Sunday evening. Frontwoman Ellie Rowsell, dressed in white shorts and a matching top with blue stars, delivered a brilliant set that drew a huge crowd. 16 Wolf Alice were a highlight of Glastonbury Credit: AFP As well as smashing their anthemic new single Bloom Baby Bloom, they had the crowd in the palm of their hands with a cover of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams. ANDY'S GIRL PARTY PALS ANDY CARROLL didn't waste any time finding some new female friends, after his Onlookers spotted the former England footballer watching The Prodigy on Sunday with two glamorous women and his pals. 16 Andy Carroll found new female friends after Lou Teasdale ditched Glastonbury Credit: Supplied 16 Andy was spotted watching The Prodigy on Sunday with two glamorous women and his pals Credit: supplied 16 Andy was spotted at Worthy Farm all weekend Credit: Supplied 16 Lou was only seen on site on Friday and Saturday Andy draped his arms around both of them as they walked to and from the stage. One reveller told me: 'Andy was still living his best life even when Lou wasn't there. 'He walked out to The Other Stage with a pretty blonde woman and put his arms around her as they headed there from the VIP area. 'It's amazing he watched any of the set because he was talking to her almost non-stop when they played. 'Before the end of the set, he went and got a round of drinks for them all and the blonde woman joined him at the bar. 'On the way back into VIP, he was with a brunette and walked with his arm around her neck. "He looked like he was having the time of his life.' We're pretty sure the hangover yesterday was as brutal as ours. Andy, who started dating Lou after he split from his wife, ex Towie star Meanwhile, make-up artist Lou was only seen on site on Friday and Saturday. She shared photographs of herself sunbathing at Babington House, a posh members' only club which is 30 minutes away from the festival. I'm not surprised she fancied dipping her toes in the pool, given how hot it was down there this year. Bizbit HOLLYWOOD star Glen Powell put a few noses out of joint when he pushed through the crowd to get a prime spot for Charli XCX's show. Minutes before she started, fans were shocked to see the Maverick: Top Gun actor making his way to the front on Saturday, despite plenty of others having staked a claim on their spot over an hour earlier. MIGHTY MYLES MY favourite set this year was the brilliant He was euphoric after his show, above, and it's not surprising given the size of the crowd, which spilled out of the huge tent and deep into the field surrounding it. 16 Myles Smith was a Glastonbury stand-out Credit: AP Myles is fast becoming a megastar, and after graduating to the Woodsies from the BBC Introducing Stage last year, I think massive things lie ahead for him. I was at London's O2 Arena in March when he picked up the Brit Award Rising Star gong, telling fans he used to play to 50 people before he got his big break. Bring on Glastonbury 2027, where I think Myles will be moved on to an even bigger stage. SURVIVOR LEWIS TO TOUR UK I have good news If you didn't get to see He made a brave return when he performed to well over 100,000 fans on the Pyramid Stage on Friday. 16 Lewis Capaldi is heading out on tour Credit: AFP Lewis has now revealed he will go on a ten-date tour across the country, starting at Sheffield's Utilita Arena on September 7. The pre-sale will begin at 9am next Tuesday, while tickets go on general sale on July 10. I'm sure they'll sell out quickly. Lewis, who has been on a two-year break from music since his 2023 Glasto performance, where he struggled with anxiety, returned with emotional new single Survive. Now he's on course to score his sixth No1 this Friday. Well deserved indeed. HOT ROD OFF THE BOOZE OLIVIA RODRIGO pledged her allegiance to the flag when she wore Union Jack hotpants for a spellbinding headline slot on Sunday night. But despite claiming on stage one of her favourite things about Blighty is that 'no one judges you for having a pint at noon', I've learned she was one of a handful of sober ravers at the festival. 16 Olivia Rodrigo wore Union Jack hotpants for a spellbinding headline slot on Sunday night Credit: Getty 16 Olivia brought out The Cure's Robert Smith Credit: BBC 16 Olivia had a booze-free backstage area so she was in tip-top shape for the performance Credit: EPA I can reveal that She wasn't the only one who still had fun while avoiding the bottle, as We spotted Davina and her long-term boyfriend Michael Douglas snogging like a couple of teenagers on the dancefloor of one backstage bar, before finally calling it a night at 2.45am on Sunday morning. Meanwhile, Zoe stuck to water and was seen dancing along to a remix of Duran Duran's Girls On Film well into the early hours. Judging by my hangover yesterday, perhaps I should try this when Glastonbury returns in 2027. NO ENTRY FOR ALEXA AT VIP BAR ALEXA CHUNG may be a top model, but that didn't stop her from appearing to be refused entry to a VIP bar at the festival. She was spotted trying to get into a special area at the festival following An onlooker said: 'Alexa was chatting to security on the door outside the exclusive bar. "She appeared to not have the right pass to get into the special area – so ended up heading back out into the festival. 'It was a bit awkward but Alexa was in good spirits and didn't take it personally.' We've all been there. Seems like model looks can only get you so far.
