Top 25 Best Shark Movies (no Jaws)
Most Shark movies are low budget, badly written and acted. Some of them are actually really fun to watch based on what they are. Some are intentionally bad and other not... but most of all, they are a blast to watch.
To qualify in this list, the movies have to have the sharks as central plot mechanism and have to go fast into action. They also need to have memorable scenes and dialogues.
Some may have their place on this list, but I only put the ones I saw. Meaning this list is most likely to evolve.
The purpose of this list is to help find the perfect movie for a movie night with friends and make sure you don't end up with a dud. Something that will make you laugh and sometimes cringe. The order doesn't really matter, take anyone and you'll have a blast.
