It’s gonna be a big drop. I guess The Shallows which at least had Blake Lively in a string bikini. Of course Deep Blue Sea has an all time great jump scare.
We should really open up the options to any man-eating animal movie because they’re all Jaws rip-offs and some are pretty fun.

It begins and ends with Sharknado. They even use my catch phrase!

Aside from The Shallows, The Reef is pretty good, and I'll admit that I have great fun with Bait. It's far better than a movie about sharks trapped in a grocery store has any right to be. It's fun in 3d, too, if that's your thing.
Of course, you could also do worse than Jaws 2, and by doing worse, I mean every subsequent Jaws film.

I don’t really have a favorite shark movie outside of JAWS, they are all varying degrees of suck.
Not sharks but the Piranha remake was really funny.

For me it's Deep Blue Sea, it pretty stupid, but a lot of fun.

47 Meters Down was pretty good. I remember liking Open Water when it came out, but I haven't watched it again.
As far as the campy ones go, I'll take Avalanche Sharks.

For camp, it's Shark Attack 3: Megalodon, and it's all because of that one line. Not even sure Family Guy does that degree of randomness.

Re: Aside from "Jaws" what is your favorite killer shark movie?
Even though it doesn’t hold a candle to the original I still love Jaws 2.
The Shallows was surprisingly good. And yeah, Blake Lively in a bikini doesn’t hurt.
I haven’t seen the first one but 47 Meters Down: Uncaged was fun.
Jaws:The Revenge is arguably one of the worst movies ever made but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t have a pretty darn effective opening scene. That scene scared me more as a kid than anything in either of the first two movies.

Jaws 3D. So horrible but it had the screen debut of Lea Thompson.

Deep Blue Sea, or as my family calls it: "Smart Shark".
Jaws 2 is fun, and that Australian one in a supermarket, Bait.
Shark Night 3D was easily the biggest letdown.

Another vote for "The Shallows", simple but surprisingly effective. Is "Deep Blue Sea" the one with Thomas Jane and SL Jackson? If so, that was pretty good as well.
