i still remember going to see jurassic park — and then i went with my daughter and her kids — the youngest was barely 2 — anyway, they were little and scared but loved it because there were no dinosaurs hiding under their beds at home — years later when the movie was shown on tv i watched it and eventually bought the 3 dvd set

have heard rumors of a 4th movie — sure hope so because at the end of the third one those flying repitiles were leaving the island and dr grant says they were going to look for new nesting places

Jurassic Park is legendary.. enough said.. after i saw the second movie i borrowed my friend’s novel and read critchon’s the lost world and i loved it.. if they made a movie that followed it almost exactly it would be as fulfilling as the first jurassic park movie.. there was alot of scientific terminology but it did add a unique experience that in my opinion worked well with the rest of the book’s mood. What ever happened with the infamous “barbosal” can that chubbs lost after being eatin in JP? It seemed like they would build off that incident for a second or third or possibly fourth movie.. hopefully the fourth movie will be as fulfilling if not more than the first which would be a hard task but spielberg and critchon could pull it off.. they should bring back the original cast like dr. grant, malcom, sattler, lex, tim etc.. to help give the feel from the first movie but with a good new storyline.. i could go on all day ab this but ill end it with this.. JP4 better be as good or better then the first

I’m glad I stumbled across this accidently. Without a doubt, Jurassic Park has to be the best movie I have ever seen at a cinema. I love it to bits, although I prefer the novel much more.

Jurassic Park was, is, and always will be my all-time favorite movie! I remember seeing it SEVERAL times in the summer of 1993 with all my friends in the neighborhood! I bought the soundtrack (Great, original and very underated), the toys, the books. I can’t believe it’s been 13 years. It impacted me in a HUGE way and will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart.

“Jurassic Park is and was truly one of the most fulfilling movie experiences that Ive ever witnessed and because of the amount of detail and the thrilling aspects to the film itll always remain a classic, earning its spot next to other wonderful movies that will be watched and remembered by generations to come, mark my word.”

- Couldn’t agree more.

I got the same sort of experience when I saw Independence Day — I was younger then and when I walked out of the theater I felt almost as if we had really defeated the aliens, that I was lucky to be alive.

Chip Kidd, the Knopf jacket designer of Jurassic Park wasn't even credited for the "skeleton" logo that the film used on all its merchandise. Read more about it in his book "Chip Kidd: Book One."

Aaaw.. How weird. I was just discussing this movie last night when it was on TV (I think USA). I didn’t know the movie was mad sooo long ago. I can remember dad taking us on a school night to go see it, and how awesome it was. I can also remember being pulled out of school to go see The Matrix with you and dad.. Math Class, Mr. Parti, 2nd period. I have heard rumors (from ComingSoon.net) that Jurassic Park 4 will be directed AFTER Indiana Jones by producer Frank Marshall. I’m not one for talking raptors though that are defeated by a magical musical instrument, so I cant imagine what other stupid ideas are involved. (Which plot is roughly described as “If you like velociraptors, you will love Jurassic Park Four”).

I saw the movie on opening day on the “biggest movie theater screen west of the Mississippi” in Newport Beach, CA. That was the first of three times I’d see it there over the next week.

So great.

Simon: I too remember the day I went to see it. My entire family had read the book, including the extended members that married my sisters. So there was probably 12 to 15 of us walking into the theatre in 1993 (which is now closed and was replaced by a Borders book store).

Even though I was 12, I remember being awe-struck as well. After watching that movie more times than I care to count I agree with you about there being a few annoying points. But, I believe that annoying things are almost impossible to avoid.

Definitely a film that changed many things, and many lives.
