Jurassic Park; I was a bit of a dinosaur nut as a kid, so I remember my jaw dropping watching that movie. Even collected a bunch of JP stuff back then. Good childhood memories (there aren't many, which makes it extra special)
Its strange just how much I relate to this post. I remember just how blown away I was when I watched Jurassic Park back when I was 8-9 I think. I don't know why, but the movie just infected me with a strange passion for anything dinosaurs related. I too started collecting stuff relating to the movie, even though I had very little money to sustain such an interest. Only difference between us is that I don't think I have good childhood memories. Even the few memories that are supposed to be good ones do not feel good at all. Quite the opposite in fact.
Few years ago I watched the movie again and scratched my head through the entire thing wondering what is it that felt so fascinating about it back then rofl
Jurassic Park was one of those movies that got it right when they were filming Dinosaurs back in the early 90's and I still have the VHS. Jurassic Park was my first STEVEN SPIELBERG movie and from that point on, I was a Dinosaur dude and the reason why the film did so well was because they didn't use that much CGI crap what you see today, [not that I don't hate it mind you] showing how they made Dinosaurs was the best part that made me love the film even more, first time I seen Samuel L. Jackson, the script was well done, and the best Dinos were the Raptors. The Lost World Jurassic Park was okay only because they introduce new Dinosaurs but the movie was only good until the T-Rex want to the City and then it became lame. Jurassic Park 3 sucks, I'm sorry but it suck. Hopefully, the new Jurassic Park would do justice but until I see a trailer, I got no hope for this new one.
As for the rest of this article my top 7 STEVEN SPIELBERG films:
7. The Goonies [still have the VHS 1985]
6. Hook.
5. Indianan Jones and the Temple of Doom. [my first Indy movie]
4. A.I.
3. Saving Private Ryan.
2. Jaws.
1. War of the Worlds.
