Who doesn’t love a good movie? Especially when they feature your favorite hobby – fishing and boating! The Boss team have compiled a list of our favorite movies and TV shows for you to enjoy this weekend. So, grab your popcorn and settle in!

JAWS (1975)

Genre: Thriller/Horror
Movie

Let’s start the list with a classic. Not exactly about fishing or boating, but Steven Spielberg’s “JAWS” is a splendid motion picture that brings you a fright and gives you one or two nasty turns when you least expect them. As many probably know, the movie takes place over the Fourth of July weekend when a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach at Long Island, and it’s up to the main characters to hunt the beast down. A famous opening sequence establishes the presence of a man-eating shark in the coastal waters; a girl goes swimming by moonlight and is dragged under, screaming – scary!
