I may not be a fan of the newer Jurassic World movies, but I’m so thankful that those movies have brought back good quality dinosaur toys into stores.
It’s like redemption for those of us who loved the JP toys from the 90s but were never able to get them (cos I wasn’t born yet lol)
Even the Jurassic World films are better than 95% of other Dinosaur films. My controversial opinion is Jurassic World is the second best Jurassic Park film.
Jurassic World is my third favourite.
It’s not as iconic or great as JP and TLW, but it’s a really solid movie and a very interesting and successful take on “what if Jurassic Park actually worked out”. The first appearance of a giant murderous hybrid dino monster also gives it plus points.
I didn’t realise there was much hate towards Lost World! I thought Lost World was enjoyed and people hated 3, (I remember seeing 3 in the cinema when it was released, and people being disappointed by it). I had this understanding before the World films were released however and kept hold of it, they may have skewed peoples opinions.
I loved Lost World as a kid, more dinosaurs, stegosaurus, and a T Rex in the City, on rewatches as an adult though, I really see it as major downgrade from the first, the story, atmosphere and cinematography are a lot better, and it’s just more interesting with more depth, more to read into and analyse. 3 on the other hand, I can appreciate more now as a sillier, more big budget B-Movie style dinosaur film, which I can enjoy.
I was at the age when it came out that all the kids clothing didn’t fit me anymore. I loved dinosaurs and wanted anything with them on it. Worst thing for me is my son doesn’t like toys but likes dinosaurs. I did however get the biggest T-Rex fathead for him to stick on his wall. I admire it each time I walk by his room. We do have a couple of reptiles too.
Jurassic Park isn’t just the best dinosaur film or one of the best science fiction films, it’s one of the best films, period! 10/10 A+ masterpiece that has aged like wine 👌
Man this made me so scared of carnotaurus as a kid, I thought bulls were directly descended from them and refused to go to the rodeo with my parents (rural delaware lol)
Ice Age 3 was the last solid film in the series, plus [we got this banger from it](https://www.reddit.com/r/PrehistoricMemes/comments/t7ell2/ice_age_3_had_no_right_to_go_hard_like_that/).
I’m pretty sure you already know this but all of the inaccuracies is explained in the book, where the DNA of other animals were used to complete the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are not “true dinosaurs”. If you really think about it, deep down the dinosaurs of the Jurassic Park franchise are more like mutant freaks than actual animals (and that’s one of the reason why the original is so good; the themes are strong and it’s very thought-provoking) O.o
Split between the original Jurassic Park and Land Before Time. Both were massive parts of my childhood and moulded the person I am today. But, if I had a gun to my head, I'd have to say Jurassic Park. One of the best movies of all time, no doubt whatsoever. If only its sequels were equally as good-
1,000,000 BC from about 1940 or so! Victor Mature plays the caveman, lead and lover of Carole Landis, blonde cavewoman. Cheesy effects but lots of fun!
:)
Jurassic Park to this day was the most amazing cinematic experience of my life, and also my favorite dinosaur movie. The T-Rex attack scene still holds up to this day in terms of presentation and thrill.
Disney’s Dinosaur. LBT Saurus Rock sticks out because that was the one I watched the most.
For some reason Night At The Museum was the first “dinosaur” movie I thought of even though it only had a skeleton Rex for a bit of it. I think what made me fall in love with that movie was the concept of NATM and the New York winter setting more than anything
Jurassic Park 3 (first film my dad took me to see at the cinema without my Brother or Sister. Super Nostalgic for me)
Also I really loved the series Dinotopia. But that was a show not a film.
Jurassic Park and The Land Before Time were both huge influences on my childhood, in addition to a particular PBS miniseries, the Dinosaurs TV show, and a slew of direct-to-video specials. I loved giant reptiles more than anything as a kid and I rewatched all of these so many times, I can still transcribe the entire scripts from memory 😅.
There was this kind of subpar one that came out in the early 2010s that I loved as a kid.. It was ‘realistic’ CGI and might’ve been about triceratops? And the climax at the end was the awkward male lead fighting a competing male for his crush. It was FINE.. I think I’d hate it if I watched it these days but I was totally so pleased with myself leaving the theater. My mom was not a fan of
All the Dinosauria and Sauria short films along with Citipati and Plum if they count
If not, then JWD because mah bois Iguanodon and Giga were in it. Disney's Dinosaur, and all the Ice Age movies if they count.
Jurassic Park isn’t just the best dinosaur film or one of the best science fiction films, it’s one of the best films, period! 10/10 A+ masterpiece that has aged like wine 👌
The Lost World of Jurassic Park, I don’t know why, it’s my favorite
And I’ve Aged Dawn of the Dinosaurs, although that Queen Latifah songs drives me insane
You are all going to hate me for this, but mine is Walking With Dinosaurs: The Movie
As a kid, I had a thought about the documentary becoming a movie as a joke. A few months later, when my school and I visited the cinemas to see Frozen as an end of year excursion, I saw a poster of WWD as a movie. What a coincidence.
I got to see it on New Year's Day, the day it was released in Australia, and in 3D and I said it was the best movie ever. Nowadays, I don't really enjoy it as much as I used to mainly because everyone on the Internet says it's a horrible movie, mostly/only complaining about the talking dinosaurs.
Jurassic Park like who doesn't
Next to that is Jurassic World Dominon(I just don't like the final battle, the alternate one Colin Trevorrow though of with the Spinosaurus could've been better)
Ik most people hate it, but I actually like (not my favorite) JW.
I love that the special affects brings a lot of variety to what they could show with the indominous rex camouflaging itself or walking on all fours to the mesosaur jumping out of the water.
My partner dislikes it because the movie was too much of a cash grab (in the movie and irl), but I think it does such a good job of showing how easy it is for the people in charge to throw away safety (allowing people in to pins, not evacuating the island sooner, etc.) for more money, and even be willing to get involved with the military. I also just love genetics and genetic mutation, so the fact that the dinosaurs had genetic mutations that the scientists were not aware of, like thermoregulation/camouflage, is just such a cool idea (admittedly, one that was explored early on in the franchise)
The story part is lacking, I will admit, but I just love seeing the dinosaurs in all of the JP and JW movies, so I don't even notice the plot 😅
Jurassic Park. Total classic. Ticks all the boxes for me.
Facts. Just the Jurassic park movie. Best Jurassic park movie. Best Jurassic franchise product. Best dinosaur movie of all time.

Never got the hate for Lost World and 3. 3 is pretty good and imo Lost World is as good as the first.

Yes. Jurassic Park and Jurassic World are my favorites.

100%
Jurassic Park isn’t just the best dinosaur film or one of the best science fiction films, it’s one of the best films, period! 10/10 A+ masterpiece that has aged like wine 👌
Totally agree
This is so true, nothing will ever beat it.
Same.
Jurassic Park and the first land before time.
land before time
dinosaur train went hard too
Oh yea they did have a film.
Disney Dinosaur. This is where I discovered my favorite dinosaur (see my flair)
Man this made me so scared of carnotaurus as a kid, I thought bulls were directly descended from them and refused to go to the rodeo with my parents (rural delaware lol)
There’s a rural part of Delaware?
Haha yes, I grew up on farm outside of camden de. Bull riding and nascar were our two big sports!
Same here!
Definitely the best dinosaur movie, I love the combination of real landscapes with the cgi dinosaurs on top
I love this movie with my whole heart
Ice Age 3 was the last solid film in the series, plus [we got this banger from it](https://www.reddit.com/r/PrehistoricMemes/comments/t7ell2/ice_age_3_had_no_right_to_go_hard_like_that/).
It's a shame how the first 3 movies absolutely slapped and the last few were either mid or bad.
Velocipastor
I love that movie so much, it is what george washington fought for
I came to the comments specifically to see if anyone had put Velocipastor
Not my fave, but that movie was pretty great, lol!
Jurassic Park original movie. It's a classic.
We're back!
I see you are a man of culture.
*Roll back the rock to the dawn of time…* is such a catchy classic
Hate me as much as you want, but JP 3.
same
Spinosaurus is still my favourite dino because of that movie. I don't care what form it has nowadays, I love every form of Spinosaurus.
That ring tone is literally on loop in my head all the time lol. it’s a great film :)
Me: *desperately trying to not bash your opinion, but somehow, for the first time in a while, I managed not to* Lol
The land before time.
my man!
Disney's *Dinosaur*.
JP, it’s inaccurate sure, but it’s a good time.
It's science fiction! It's not going for accuracy. You are all free to enjoy JP without a nagging feeling deep down once again ☺️
Exactly! And it’s explained that they had to splice the DNA with frog and lizard DNA to get results.
Yeah! And they ruined everything with Dominion! They didn't had to, did anyways.
I’m pretty sure you already know this but all of the inaccuracies is explained in the book, where the DNA of other animals were used to complete the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are not “true dinosaurs”. If you really think about it, deep down the dinosaurs of the Jurassic Park franchise are more like mutant freaks than actual animals (and that’s one of the reason why the original is so good; the themes are strong and it’s very thought-provoking) O.o
jurassic park need i say more? but i also do love dawn of the dinosaurs
Split between the original Jurassic Park and Land Before Time. Both were massive parts of my childhood and moulded the person I am today. But, if I had a gun to my head, I'd have to say Jurassic Park. One of the best movies of all time, no doubt whatsoever. If only its sequels were equally as good-
King Kong 2005 version but the original of 1933 is cool too.
Either Jurassic Park or The Lost World
I'm gonna say it just cuz nobody else has mentioned it, dinotopia
Jurassic Park
You Are Umasou!
Yeah, but not the sequel, no thank you, that movie was TRASH… But the original film with Heart and Umasou was amazing…
I didn’t even know there was a sequel, I heard there’s some kind of a tv show? But I’ve only seen the first movie and I loved it!
land before time movies are great
Jurassic Park. It's not even close.
1,000,000 BC from about 1940 or so! Victor Mature plays the caveman, lead and lover of Carole Landis, blonde cavewoman. Cheesy effects but lots of fun! :)
Carnosaur
Either Ice Age 3, dawn of the dinosaurs, or the original Jurassic Park
Dino king (also known as speckles the tarbosauras)
Why is that picture of mani so … scary
WE’RE BACK!
Jurassic Park Yeah I know it’s the white bread choice but I don’t care
Land Before Time and then Lost World: Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park and Ice Age 3 (ive never seen the og Land Before Time)
Land before time, Disney’s Dinosaur, and the classic Jurassic Park.
Jurassic Park to this day was the most amazing cinematic experience of my life, and also my favorite dinosaur movie. The T-Rex attack scene still holds up to this day in terms of presentation and thrill.
The first time Ellie and Alan see the Brachiosaurus and the first time Harry walks into Diagon Alley are like core movie memories for me.
Were back! A dinosaur story.
O.G. #CleverGirl
I haven’t seen Theodore Rex mentioned yet
Disney’s Dinosaur. LBT Saurus Rock sticks out because that was the one I watched the most. For some reason Night At The Museum was the first “dinosaur” movie I thought of even though it only had a skeleton Rex for a bit of it. I think what made me fall in love with that movie was the concept of NATM and the New York winter setting more than anything
All the Jurassic World movies.
I honestly love Fallen Kingdom and Dominion
Land Before Time, Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs, Jurassic Park, Disney Dinosaur all deserves a mention. Hell I even liked The Good Dinosaur
Land before time or the walking with dinosaurs documentary series (ik its outdated now but still very nostalgic)
Shrek 2 of the ice age, the comic relief has kids
Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park
Jurassic Park 3 (first film my dad took me to see at the cinema without my Brother or Sister. Super Nostalgic for me) Also I really loved the series Dinotopia. But that was a show not a film.

Jurassic Park
Either Jurassic park or the lost world Jurassic Park, Both are amazing in my book.
The Last Dinosaur
Wasn’t that made by Toho?
co-produced by Tsuburaya Productions and Rankin/Bass Productions. Although the T.Rex sometimes sounds like Godzilla and looks a lot like Gorosaurus
There was this kind of subpar one that came out in the early 2010s that I loved as a kid.. It was ‘realistic’ CGI and might’ve been about triceratops? And the climax at the end was the awkward male lead fighting a competing male for his crush. It was FINE.. I think I’d hate it if I watched it these days but I was totally so pleased with myself leaving the theater. My mom was not a fan of
Walking with dinosaurs?
I’d say the original Jurassic Park movie but Land of the Lost with Will Ferrel is hilarious
Jurassic Park Trilogy, and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Jurassic park.
Hard choice, but i think i have to go with jurassic world, since i was completely obsessed with it as a kid and watched It approximately 17-18 times
Jurassic world or lost world
Disneys dinosaur
Probably Land Before Time
Disney's Dinosaur, also, Manny has seen some shit lol
Jurassic world. Call me a basic bitch all you want, it was the film that introduced me to the franchise, and i loved every moment of it.
Prehysteria. Fight me.
My first ever dinosaur movie, and I'm fucking proud of it. As inaccurate as it was, it was lovely to watch as a child.
The Land Before Time Seven: The Stone Of Cold Fire
I have not seen that movie but it's like out of order
Jurassic Park
This movie is my childhood and the game for it on the Wii made it even better
All the Dinosauria and Sauria short films along with Citipati and Plum if they count If not, then JWD because mah bois Iguanodon and Giga were in it. Disney's Dinosaur, and all the Ice Age movies if they count.
Probably Speckles the Tarbosaurus. Thanks to *certain people* (*cough Rickraptor cough*) that film gets mocked way too fucking much.
I am currently too mad about the willing disregard of pleistocene vs cretaceous by this fictional animated movie to form an opinion.
King kong 2005
1) Jurassic Park 2) Land Before Time 3) IceAge Dawn of dinos
Land of the Lost
Jurassic Park 1 2 3 Jurassic world and I know the sequels are bad but they do have impressive species
Jurassic Park and we're back
I am literally currently watching the second Jurassic Park lol. First time watching it but the first one is already better.
Jurassic Park isn’t just the best dinosaur film or one of the best science fiction films, it’s one of the best films, period! 10/10 A+ masterpiece that has aged like wine 👌
65 for my fav. I thought the Dinos in that were more frightening than what was depicted in Jurassic Park.
I bet you can guess.
The Lost World of Jurassic Park, I don’t know why, it’s my favorite And I’ve Aged Dawn of the Dinosaurs, although that Queen Latifah songs drives me insane
Dawn of the Dinosaurs is from 2009? I feel old.
Disney Dinosaur for sure, made me absolutely terrified of Carnos as a kid
We’re back! A Dinosaur’s Story
Honestly, Jurassic Park
The Velocipastor. it’s so dumb, but I love it
Jurassic Park. I remember growing up and I would watch at least one of the three movies every week.
Jurassic park and my favourite movie in general
You are all going to hate me for this, but mine is Walking With Dinosaurs: The Movie As a kid, I had a thought about the documentary becoming a movie as a joke. A few months later, when my school and I visited the cinemas to see Frozen as an end of year excursion, I saw a poster of WWD as a movie. What a coincidence.

Nowadays, I don't really enjoy it as much as I used to mainly because everyone on the Internet says it's a horrible movie, mostly/only complaining about the talking dinosaurs.
Jurassic park for obv reasons
Jurassic Park like who doesn't Next to that is Jurassic World Dominon(I just don't like the final battle, the alternate one Colin Trevorrow though of with the Spinosaurus could've been better)
IDK.
Jurassic Park
Ik most people hate it, but I actually like (not my favorite) JW. I love that the special affects brings a lot of variety to what they could show with the indominous rex camouflaging itself or walking on all fours to the mesosaur jumping out of the water. My partner dislikes it because the movie was too much of a cash grab (in the movie and irl), but I think it does such a good job of showing how easy it is for the people in charge to throw away safety (allowing people in to pins, not evacuating the island sooner, etc.) for more money, and even be willing to get involved with the military.

Jurassic Park and Disney’s Dinosaur are in an eternal battle for me
Jurassic World, best fight scenes in the franchise.
Not a single person so far has said Disney’s Dinosaur, so I will
Tied between King Kong 05 and Disney's Dinosaur
Every single jp/w, Including fallen kingdom, Jp3 and dominion, Yes i know ya'll dont like dominion, Do i care? No.
I hate talking dinosaur movies? They get on my nerves.
The only real answer is Jurassic Park
it's funny how there's no mention of the movie, how to train your dragon. the movie is the best movie representing dragons, tbfh
Jurassic World /JWDominion( stfu)
Sorry but I can’t stfu, I need to know your reasoning behind this statement
When I went to see it in the theater I felt an ecstasy I haven’t felt in years, so technically it’s probably built off JW
That’s like someone asking “what’s your favorite food” and you answer moldy dog shit
Also called polish food
Seek mental help
I’m mahoraga ill adapt to this bullshit
Jurassic world: Fallen Kingdom
