Jurassic Park for me. It was just super impressive for the time it was made. Literally some movies today have worse CGI and it so much easier to do now.

Can someone get into my Dreams and do Inception on me and make me believe I'm a Millionaire with a hot Wife please.

 

[Jimmy King]

As much as I like Inception, Jurassic Park is a classic and gets my vote. As a kid watching it the one scene that stuck with me was when Dennis Nedry getting killed by the dilophosaurus, that and the dude getting killed on the toilet by the t-rex.

Jurassic Park - just. But only just.

2 great movies, but, I love dinosaurs, Jurassic Park.

Jurassic Park because it was such a big part of my youth and still holds up today. It really did change the game for Dinosaurs on film.

No contest. Jurassic Park is peak Spielberg. It looks as great today as it did when it came out. And my mom took me to the cinema to see it for my birthday so there's some personal sentiment there too...

Seriously though, watch the YouTube videos such as this and you will start to see just how insanely brilliant Jurassic Park was. Shot perfectly, amazing score (more good YouTube videos on that too...) Yes the sequels are nowhere near as good, and the new stuff simply sucks but as a stand alone movie Jurassic Park is the Apex Predator of modern cinema (imo)...
