Legendary filmmaker Quentin Tarantino gave a huge nod to director Steven Spielberg by calling his epic movie “Jaws” the “greatest movie ever made", the Daily Caller said.

During an interview with Cinemablend’s ReelBlend podcast, Spielberg captured the essence of what makes a “movie” different from a “film” and explained his adoration for the movie “Jaws,” Cinemablend reported Wednesday. Tarantino is an iconic filmmaker himself, so giving this distinction to Spielberg’s classic can easily be considered to be among the highest forms of flattery in the industry.

Tarantino was specific with his wording and crisply reiterated that “Jaws” wasn’t getting a nod for greatest “film,” according to the outlet.

“I think Jaws is the greatest movie ever made. Maybe not the greatest film. But it’s the greatest movie ever made. And then there are other movies that can get in its rarefied air. But as far as a movie, there’s no making it better than Jaws,” Tarantino said.

“It is the best movie ever made. And it shows how badly timed most movies made before Jaws were,” Tarantino reportedly added.
