I can't remember which one exactly had that story about the black blob in the water but that scared me enough to not want to go into any ponds/bodies of water.
Yeah, Jaws was never a suspense movie that held up over time. If you saw it at the time, it was the first big blockbuster movie (I think) and certainly the first shark one, so it was a big deal. As more and more came onstream, it lost its impact. But it's still the original and so the king. The big moment in the movie is I think where you see the shark fully for the first time. There's no music, nothing to alert you, comes right out of the blue. Go clean out your underwear. It's that much of a shock. But only the once.
