Sharks can be many things: vicious predators, horror-movie icons, tasty battered-fried treats when served with tartar sauce (okay not really)...Here are some of the best shark moments in film.

JAWS (1975)

Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster features some of the most memorable shark moments of all time – the skinny-dipping beauty dragged underwater by a lurking shark, the Great White taking a huge bite out of the boat, and then the predator’s ultimate climactic demise.

SHARKNADO (2013)

This cheesy campfest (and we say that in a good way) quickly became a cult favorite, earning killer ratings and surprisingly positive reviews. Seriously, Ian Ziering chain sawing his way out of a shark? How awesome is that?!

MEGA SHARK Vs. GIANT OCTOPUS (2009)

A giant shark flies through the sky and brings down a passenger airliner, submerging it in the ocean. One more thing to worry about when flying...

Sharks attack sexy college coeds. In 3D, no less!

If you need a break from realistic-looking, nightmare-inducing films that make you fear the beach, this flick might give you just the comic relief you need.

SHARK TALE (2004)

Jack Black’s killer shark Lenny is an embarrassment to his family...because he’s a vegetarian. Hey, don’t knock 100% soy protein faux flesh until you’ve tried it.

OPEN WATER (2003)

A couple goes out with a scuba diving group and are accidentally left behind. Their loss...the sharks' gain.

FINDING NEMO (2003)

Bruce, a toothy shark, tries to convince himself, “I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine...Fish are friends, not food.”

JAWS 2 (1978)

Watch the sparks fly – literally! – as a killer shark bites down on an electrical cable and catches on fire.

THE NUDE BOMB (1980)

Would you believe this theatrical release was so bad that some referred to it as "jumping the shark"?
