#2: Jaws (1975)
Spielberg’s Jaws made millions afraid of the ocean, and it did so mostly with sound. That unforgettable John Williams score (two notes, relentless) builds more anxiety than the shark itself. When the great white finally surfaces to terrorize the small beach town, we’re already panicked. It’s Spielberg’s masterpiece of suggestion, a film that taught us imagination can be far scarier than sight.
