Jurassic Park


In this 1993 Steven Spielberg directed feature an amusement park / safari is opened on a remote island.  The catch, it's populated by real live dinosaurs brought to life by huge advances in technology.  On a preview tour of the island everything goes amiss as embryos are stolen, the power lines that contain the dinosaurs go down and the question "what happens when man trys to play god?" gets answered.  I will tell you a part of that answer is "a man gets eaten by a dinosaur while he is sitting on a toilet."

A ground breaking film that launched a franchise and the careers of countless paleontologists the film is highly regarded for it's breath taking special effects and (tasteful) use of computer graphics.  There's a reason it's Spielberg's highest grossing film of all time and won multiple academy awards.  Features Jeff Goldblum, Samuel L. Jackson and Laura Dern.  Also features lots and lots of dinosaurs.  Rated PG-13, 127 min.
