Many movie lovers have that one film that first told them and continues to remind them why they wanted cinema to be a permanent part of their life. 'Jurassic Park' is mine. I can watch (and have watched) this movie over and over and over again. No director blends wonder, humanity, and mayhem as harmoniously as Spielberg. The special effects have held up pretty damn well; the sight of the rain-drenched T-Rex emerging for the first time remains unmatched. It's just...awesome. 'Jurassic Park' is ceaseless cinematic eye-candy, imagination, and adventure that doesn't forget its funny, intelligent characters. It doesn't get any more magical, exhilarating, or simply better than this.

So captivating, so original, so well-acted, with such bracingly intelligent dialogue. A violent good time.
