My friends and I are arguing the primary genre that Jaws fits in.

I say horror and they are lambasting me.

What are other movies that the genre could be argued about? Discuss, argue, etc.

The first was more horror. The others were less horror. I don't know what to call them.

The first one was horror. Jaws 3 and 4 were comedies.

genre arguments are pointless. its a movie about a killer shark. who cares.

alot of movies contain strains of multiple genres.

Play the theme.

How on earth can that be anything other than horror/suspense?

Action/Adventure/Suspense/Thriller/Horror

Peter Benchley wasn't a horror writer like Stephen King but the shark was definitely a "monster".

It's one of those movies that you really can't narrow down to one genre. It's kind of like limiting Apocalyspse Now to a "war" movie.
