Sticking (loosely) with Jaws. Peter Benchley had two more novels turned into films, in 1976 and 1980, what are the titles of those films ?

One of them was The Deep because I remeber the scene where Lou Gosset Jr get his head crunched by a really big Moray eel (I think).

The other...not so sure. Something to do with a Squid?

Yeah, you can have it. It was The Deep in '76, but the '80 film was called The Island and starred Micheal Caine (not a lot of people know that).
The squid movie was The Beast, that came out in 1996.
