I had always liked the Jaws series. For a lot of the same reasons that he directed them I guess. Sharks have always been fascinating to me and this was was series that really seemed to depict then the best. I do have to admit that I had never thought to look up whom the directed was. I did own the box set at one point on VHS.
The link appears to have changed but you can search Jaws and it can be easily found.
