I haven't seen the newest entry yet. So, until I do, my favorite moments in the first three were EVERY scene featuring Jeff Goldblum in the first film. I think he's an amazing actor. He convinces me that the lines he recites are being thought the moment he speaks them.

"Lost World," when a T-Rex loose in San Diego eats screenwriter David Koepp (billed as "Unlucky Bastard" in the end credits). It just feels so good.

I'm gonna be honest. I saw JP 1 on one of those Thurs night preview things - it opened proper the next day - in Orlando back in June 93 and I was underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong...it was pretty good, just nowhere near as good as the classic Spielberg I had grew up on (Jaws, CE3K, Raiders, Indy 2, ET, Empire of the Sun). It was the music and FX that stood out more for me. Anyway, the standout moments for me are Journey to the Island/Dino reveal sequence and the T-Rex night/rain attack. Outstanding moments among the more ordinary scenes I never thought it was a "good" story or script. Besides the advancement in SFX's, it had it's stand out Spielberg moments and of course JW iconic score. The T-Rex and Raptors in the Kitchen sequences are what movies are all about. But over all it was a weak effort. If you've already seen Raiders, CE3K and ET, well, JP seems a weak effort indeed...

AS unrealistic and kind of cheesey as the scene was, I like in the second film where what's his name is swinging the truck side-to-side to try and drag up the trailer over the cliff and suddenly two T-Rex's emerge from the woods, swinging their tails kind of like a cat that's found a new toy to play with and eat. Face it: if your cat was that bigt and you were that small, your cat would eat you. And of course the percussion music by Williams drives it. Or how about the raptor head slowly emerging and what's his name saying, "You clever girl..." Or the raptor trails in the grassy brush approaching the running humans in the second film. You knew then it was going to be bad.
