yea great movie, rotten sandwiches and what not. but seriously. Jurassic Park is like one of the best movies. That lil dinosaur spits in Dennis Nedrys face and the dude getting bit in half on the toilet!

Yeah, lol for some reason I've never really got into Jurassic Park, but I understand appeal of course. It's all good, if everyone liked the same thing it would be boring. : - )

What do you rate Jurassic Park? Do you think it holds up till this day?

 

[Streeter]

Should be

Jaws
ET
Jurassic Park
Raiders

The 4 films that made his career the most.

Jaws. In many ways a revolutionary horror film. Created the term "blockbuster."

Raiders of the Lost Ark. Gave us one of the greatest adventure heroes of all time. Combined the sprawling epic with the updated and improved action serial film.

Jurassic Park. 30 years later, the practical and digital effects hold up. Launched a franchise that people still love. Successfully beat out Billy and the Cloneasaurus.

Schindler's List. I remember being in college when in aired on it's entirety on network TV. Nearly every single person on campus was watching it every TV in every dorm room.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Never cared for Schindler's List or Jaws but I understand the impact Jaws had

Raiders of the Lost ark, Jurassic Park and ET

 

[Sweater of AV]

Jaws
Close Encounters
ET
Jurassic Park

Could put the Indiana Jones movies in there but if I choose one then I have to choose the others.

I really needed 5 here but I went with:

Jaws
Jurassic Park
Schindler's List
Saving Private Ryan

 

[Sano]

Jaws
Jurassic Park
Saving Private Ryan
Schindlers List

Schindlers List is by far his best film and arguably the best films ever made. From acting, to cinematography, to soundtrack, to story, to historical signifiance, to emotional beats. Not only is it incredibly well made, it has a real message. It's the perfect movie imo. It was made in 93, but if you watch it today it looks brand new despite being in black and white. It's timeless and I don't understand why more people don't recognise what a masterpiece this movie is.

I think it's because its a VERY tough watch. I've seen it 2 or 3 times and every time I think "this is a masterpiece and I never want to see it again".

There isn't a lot of fun and feel good to it. That doesn't bog it down, but I feel like it costs me something to watch that movie.

As opposed to say Braveheart or No Country for Old Men which I also think are masterpiece films, and tragedies, but they are a lot of fun.

That's a good point. To me that just adds to the movie because of how real it is. It's special in that it's meaningful and leaves a mark. Same reason why I hold Grave of the Fireflies and The Pianist in high regard as well. Granted I have no issue with people wanting to be entertained, I like to escape from reality as much as the next person.

Schindler's List in particular is just so expertly crafted technically, in addition to how impactful it is. I feel like that is something most people would be able to appreciate. Oh, and the acting. Sure, Liam Neeson, Kingsley and Fiennes give career defining performances, but even outside of that there is not a single bad performance in the film despite the hundreds of faces we're introduced to. Even the kids and extras feel real and believable. I could go on, but I wont ha.

Btw, Braveheart and No Country for Old Men might be on my top10 as well, good taste.

Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan are probably the best "serious" movies he has made.

Jaws, Close Encounters, Jurassic, Raiders etc.....all very enjoyable. Jaws especially still holds up very well today.
The combo of Richard Dreyfus and Roy Scheider and Robert Shaw (the 3 men on the boat during the later stage of the movie) was particularly good in their interactions together etc, quite difficult at first and then as things got worse and worse for them on the boat they started acting more as a team. Robert Shaw (Quint) kinda had it coming to him I have to say...

Haven't (yet) seen Lincoln, Minority Report, Fablemans nor Artificial Intelligence.
