VenueMount Pleasant — Basement program room
There is nothing quite like watching a killer great white shark terrorize a seaside community in the middle of summer—even if you are safely on dry land in midtown Toronto. Head over to the Mount Pleasant Library branch for a free evening screening of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 masterpiece, *Jaws*.
What to Expect
The library will be playing the PG-rated classic featuring Roy Scheider as the aquaphobic police chief Martin Brody, Richard Dreyfuss as the sharp oceanographer Matt Hooper, and Robert Shaw as the unforgettable salty local fisherman Quint. Follow along as they head out on the high seas aboard the *Orca* to hunt down the monster terrorizing Amity Island (though the listing cheekily notes a fictional resort community in Maine!).
Getting There & Practical Info
- **Location:** Mount Pleasant Library (Basement Program Room), 599 Mt. Pleasant Road.
- **Cost:** Completely free, but space is first-come, first-served so it's a good idea to arrive a little early to secure a comfortable seat.
- **Neighbourhood Tip:** Grab a pre-movie bite or coffee along Mount Pleasant Village before heading in for the 6:00 PM start time. Perfect for cinephiles and nostalgic summer movie fans alike.
