20+ Shark Movies

I'm passionate about Shark movies. Really passionate. Yes 99% of them are crap, but it's part of the reason why I enjoy them. Recently they have been made self aware, but it wasn't always the case.
Regardless... you won't find a more complete list than this one. This list may contain TV Series, but will not contain documentaries or short movies.
If I wrongfully put a movie here or if I forgot one, please let me know... I take this list really seriously. Please keep in mind that many (and I do mean many) movies have alternate titles, which sometime makes it hard to keep track.
I also use this list as a checklist to movies I own.
