7. Jaws – Jaws (1975)
Before you rush to the comments: yes, sharks don’t really make points, per se – but that’s essentially the crux of this entry.
1975’s Jaws pioneered the horror genre, and it also inspired widespread fear of open water in a way that a film had never before achieved. It tells the semi-true story of a shark terrorizing a beach community during their peak tourism period, and eventually pits man against one of the sea’s most formidable predators (or, at least, a robotic lookalike, for the sake of the film’s crew).
Although the shark is undoubtedly the film’s main antagonist, it’s not really a villain in the strictest sense of the word, because it’s literally only acting according to its nature.
Sharks need to feed, and there was a veritable buffet just off the shores of Amity Island. The fact that the Mayor decides to keep the beaches open after the shark kills a young woman actually makes his greed far more of an antagonist than an animal that was literally just following its instincts.
