Moonlight Movies Series: Jaws – Jacksonville, Florida
And just when you we’re getting ready to go to the beach for a nice swim – SHARK!!! I think we better stay on the beach. At least if you’re taking your gang out for the Moonlight Movie Series. Of course, the first movie this season is the classic Jaws from 1975 with a young Roy Scheider and even younger-looking Richard Dreyfuss. This was director Steven Spielbergs first BIG movie hit!
