Jaws
The middle rounds aren't kind to Jaws. But put it in a final, and it becomes one of the tougher matchups on the platform. At 44% overall, it's deceptive. The film that invented the summer blockbuster still carries a primal charge fifty years later. On a ballot, it benefits from being both a piece of cinema history and a genuinely great time at the movies.
Synopsis
When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark, the town's chief of police, a young marine biologist, and a grizzled shark hunter embark on a desperate quest to kill the beast before it strikes again.
45% opening, 35% semis, 65% finals. The middle-round dip filters out the undecided — what's left in the final is concentrated conviction.
Taxi Driver is the nearest thing to a true rival at 47%. The margin is slim and the outcome still feels unsettled. The extremes tell a clear story — 83% against E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial at one end, 25% against Raging Bull at the other.
In Spielberg vs. Scorsese, the path to the title runs through Saving Private Ryan — and Jaws takes it at 75%. A dominant champion.
Steven Spielberg's 9 films span a wide range: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade at 71% to Ready Player One at 22%. Jaws sits at #6.
Dead last in Spielberg vs. Scorsese.
