Kickass Movie Scene List #80: Jurassic Park

I was ten when Jurassic Park came out. That fact alone makes me feel incredibly old.

More importantly, this was the first movie that was on the questionable side that my brother and I were allowed to see. My dad screened the VHS prior to us watching it, then said "yeah, that seems alright". I don't know how exactly that happened, but ten year old me thought that it was the greatest thing that ever.

Everything about the movie captured my imagination. People forget the while Jurassic Park was primarily a sort of horror movie, it also had that first half an hour which was as close as many of us would ever come to complete wonderment. Dinosaurs! On screen! Not animated! Honestly, if that first half hour was the movie, and then everyone went home, ten year old me would've been satisfied.

...but then everything went to shit at the most inopportune time. And that's where moment number #80 really comes into play.
