1. Jurassic Park

You probably already knew which one was going to end up at the top of this list before you even began reading it. Sorry to be predictable, but that’s just how revolutionary, stunning, and downright epic Jurassic Park is.

Released in 1993, Steven Spielberg’s dino drama brought Michael Crichton’s legendary novel to life on the big screen in bigger, scarier, and gripping fashion. What the movie accomplished with its cutting edge special effects didn’t just give the story the larger-than-life look that it needed, it changed the face of cinema forever. From the T-Rex’s stormy arrival, to the velociraptor’s clever trap, every moment in Jurassic Park looks beautiful. Beautifully frightening. Beautifully exhilarating. Beautiful.

Perhaps the greatest beauty of Jurassic Park is that the amazing visuals set the table for a gripping story – something that so many modern movies overlook. There are themes of nature vs. nurture, greed vs. logic, and love vs. hate running throughout the narrative, and it’s all held together by its star-studded cast’s compelling performances.

30 years on and we’re still in awe of everything this movie managed to accomplish.

Life found a way with Jurassic Park and we’re so happy that it did.
