Daddy Goldblum all the way...

 

[Barry Poppins]

Think I'm gonna vote for Planet of the Apes, because this is one of Charlton Heston's greatest roles outside of The Ten Commandments.

 

[Chris]

Yeah this one is tough, went with Jurassic Park myself tho

 

[Spitfire]

Im shocked that JP has more votes than one of the wonders of the sci-fi world.

Jurassic Park

 

[Marty McFourth]

It's pretty much impossible for anything to beat out Jurassic Park for me. Truly impressive for the time it came out as well.

 

[Keith]

Jurassic Park easy for me. Apes has just as bigger inflence. But as a film JP is better and was such a big part of my youth.
