Seeing these 5 iconic people in one video all these years later is truly something to behold!🦖🦕

You are right mr. proC!!!

Yes it is! 🦖

[@carolynrandle5454]

Love that movie

They should be in a proper JURASSIC PARK new sequel. Not in a bs gen z jurassic world movie.

[@FUCK_ALL_YOUTUBE_MODERATORS]

[@GTOberfest]

Shes right at the end...You literally cant do better than the original Jurassic Park. I still remember the theatre reactions and the impact this had globally.

[@michellepomponio1537]

My daughter asked “where they got dinosaurs” This is when we saw the first movie. L O L.

Was such a magical time. Will never see these times again unfortunately

Well perhaps the novel version. Which is more of a thriller.

[@opheliawinfrey9501]

I love how the cast all appreciate the impact they had and still enjoy talking about this

[@bluecollarbuilds]

It’s a real shame they don’t make movies like this anymore. This will forever be one of the greatest ever.

[@bluecollarbuilds]

@igakoga2481 it is subjective as long as we can agree that JP3 Fallen Kingdom and Dominion aren’t on that list

[@AgreeableOnion]

@igakoga2481They don’t make groundbreaking movies like this anymore, it’s a thing of the past. What’s done is already done, there’s nothing new anymore. And I personally don’t know of any other movie that has dinosaurs in it that was a huge global phenomenon as this was in 1993 and still is 31 years later.

[@PizzaTime-Studios54]

In my thoughts, Jurassic Park is one of the greatest Universal films that ever exists as a global phenomenal picture. Great to see the original 5 cast return as a reunion. ❤🦕🦖😊

[@soapbox187]

RIP Richard Attenborough and Robert Peck. These men and women formed an lifelong memory of a child who grew up in the 90s. Absolute work of art Jurassic Park is. Such a rewatchable motion picture. Brilliant.

[@KAC07]

My all time favorite film for sure, thank you for making my childhood 🦖🦕❤

[@clcg1800]

I'm literally dying from nostalgia. Jurassic Park is what I bleed❤ just beautifully timeless and very awe-inspiring 😘😘😘😘

[@RetroCrisis]

Jurassic Park is a perfect movie. It has everything! Comedy, Drama, Action, Horror everything. No sequels needed.

[@Leto85]

That was amazing to watch. My favourite scene was the first time they saw the Brachiosaurus and how each character reacted to that. Donald Genero (the lawyer) exclaiming 'We're gonna make a fortune with this place' said so much about his character where the others were amazed by the sight of a warmblooded living mega sauropod. I'm still amazed how all the death scenes are so iconic. You can't remake that without it being a direct reference or satire. Not a single one of them was lacking an iconic moment. Even all main dinosaur had their distinct features. And although I love Jurassic World too, the fact that there were not even that many different dinosaurs in the first movie shows that less can be more. Jurassic Park... I was 7 when it came out, and I am 38 now.; it's still my favourite movie. 🦕🦖

[@Jpark.]

These 5 have made so many childhoods, including my own. I wish Joseph and Ariana were in Dominion, but at least we got to see Sam, Laura, and Jeff one more time in this franchise.

[@Leto85]

I was hoping fof that too. And fof a long moment I thought the young black lady was Kelly, anx I couldn't wait to see the reunion of her with Malcolm, but alas. The series isn't over yet, so we could keep our hopes up. :)

[@JMVIDS78]

Lex, Tim and Kelly 30 years later, how they have adjusted to worldwide dinosaurs. I would still like to see that!

[@Leto85]

@@JMVIDS78 Oh, yes. Me too. And their ptsd involving that.

[@ChristianKessler4185]

these two would be actually perfect to return for a new third n final trilogy in my honest opinion, letting them basically get into the footsteps of the adult actors of JP when they were full grown up. It would be just nice to see, what for lives these two have had, after JP and now after Dominion, when basicalyl the dinos repopulated the world like a plague suddenly, and all their memories basicalyl from JP haunt them back now suddenly in a new status qou of the world, where the dinos aren't anymore far far faaaar away on an island, where they are only able to live there, but now suddenly everywhere on the world, due to the organisms of them havign changed and adapted to the world... id find a trilogy story about them as Main Protagonists would be the perfect enclosure of the whole Jurassic franchise.

[@JONATHANP1619]

The 1st film still stands up to this day. A masterpiece.

[@Lilmickcrocodiledundee0001]

Can't do better than the original. Brings tears to my eyes. When I was 6 back in 93 this movie changed my life.

[@davidjoe3368]

Alot of things came together to make this Movie even possible. Computer technology had finally reached a level where they could actually make dinosaurs look real without having to use only puppets. This Movie is one of the greatest of all time, and it is truly incredible how fast 30 years have gone by!

[@JustaKuwaiti]

Jurassic Park is one of my favorites Happy 30th Anniversary 🦖🦕

[@chrisquivers968]

This classic came out the year I was born and I believe this was the first movie I ever saw and it is still one of my favorite movies! ❤❤

[@Boatfisherz1]

Nothing will beat the original....was and is just so iconic compared to anything since then. Will be a big part of my childhood, I even remember watching it for the first time as a 10 year old. Thank you to these actors for being a small part of my life.

[@PeaceMaker28720]

We need this cast for one more Jurassic park film.

[@bps3013]

My brother and I (both in our mid 20's) saw this in a packed theater and when the T-Rex punched its face through the roof of jeep to get the kids the entire place went berserk! Grown men and women screaming bloody terror, slamming back in their seats, the whole deal. Truly iconic and I'll never forget it!

[@twistedenvoy3531]

Jurassic Park has been my comfort movie for 30 years!

[@paytonedwards7066]

My childhood through and through and I was late to the older generations, I was born in 2000 but these movies were my life, and forever will be my favorite movie saga of all time, I have enjoyed introducing my kids and my wife to these movies, Jurassic Park as a whole, is what inspired my imagination, without this series I don't have a clue who'd I'd be as a person, thank you Jurassic Park!

[@Morpheus1984]

You can debate the differences with the novel, and the latest discoveries in paleontology, but as a dinosaur filled movie this is as good as it gets. An iconic masterpiece

[@jakhazardzn9862]

To all the actors - This movie shaped my life - Thank you. Short and sweet!

[@EverythingE60Euro]

Cool story. This movie came out when I was born. My mom took me as a baby, it was the first movie in surround sound. My love for these films never changed. And I age with the film. Pretty cool

Absolute iconic legacy them puppets 😢

[@PhilMachi]

Beautiful tribute! Let's also remember the great Michael Crichton for coming up with these beloved characters and exciting story. It captured the imagination of so many but especially Steven Spielberg who felt compelled to bring those moments to the big screen!

[@theexpatgunner]

What an incredible movie, it was way ahead of its time and I can’t believe 30’years have passed since its release. I remember when I was 12 years old seeing at the cinema for the first time, The effects and magic that brought dinosaurs to life on the big screen blew my mind! Now I’m 43 and it’s still one of my all time favorite movies.

[@SquallAdv]

As a lil' kid this movie changed my life, the impact it had on me I think nothing even came close years after. Imagination is such a powerful thing, curiosity can move worlds... Jurassic Park showed us all of this and more first hand. Eternal love for JP and the people behind this masterpiece.

[@Jurassicfs3]

Nearly 31 years later and Jurassic park will always be the best movie in the entire Jurassic franchise, it is truly a masterpiece.

[@omarnuneznavy]

Favorite scene will always be the trex breaking though the fence. Top 10 movie moment of all time.

[@mdubleyew7924]

[@bkw9530]

Such an iconic movie, it even makes it's way into mods for games (Project Zomboid, DayZ etc) It was a groundbreaking movie.

[@moleshaman3040]

It’s fantastic to hear about how the actors feel and what they remember ! Some of my favorites are the brachiosaurus scene unforgettable , the green jelly scene , Dr Grant talking to Lex in the tree, Dr Sattler as a strong female character in all her scenes and the finale with the T-Rex saving the day.The movie le definitely alive today !

Childhood memories this cast is beyond iconic and legendary.

[@Camphibia]

I never knew a world without Jurassic Park but I grew up watching it so often that I don't remember my first time watching it. It molded my childhood and will continue to mold my adulthood. What Sam Neill said about people being paleontologists because of Alan Grant has never been more true in my own life. It is because of him I am studying paleontology. The scene that really set my future in stone has to be the Brachiosaurus experience. Everything about it, especially the Brachiosaurus, is just beautiful and awe-inspiring. I am glad Jurassic Park has been a part of my life and the lives of so many others

[@tutubeas10]

I love this film dearly.

[@Artey86]

The pinnacle of cinema. I don't think anything will ever surpass it.

[@THEBATCHANNEL]

Welcome to Jurassic Park!

[@RudeBoySka216]

I was born in 1993 when this movie came out, growing up i would watch it tirelessly on VHS. It still holds up today as one of the best if not the best dinosaur movies ever. It's great seeing the OG cast too, these guys were a huge part of my childhood.

[@tango22ah]

Wow Goldblum is just maturing like a fine fine wine.

[@ArtjomsMind]

I remember annoying every adult in my family back then, because I used to watch it over and over again. Yep, every weekend. Especially when we got family friends visiting. The film is really a gem of its time.

[@GK2o]

If Richard was here now, he would’ve said “Happy 30 years of Jurassic Park!” Rest in Paradise Richard!

[@EQOAnostalgia]

I was a kid at the time, it was next level hype. Two things from that time made kids go crazy. Street Fighter 2, and Jurassic Park.

[@diegosilang4823]

The fact this movie was completed AHEAD of schedule and made craploads of money. Kudos to the cast and crew.

[@Jesse12489]

I still watching this in theaters at 4 years old. I remember the helicopter landing on the island and the music was stuck in my head. During the pandemic me and my wife went on a date to a theater that was playing nothing but old movies and one of them was Jurassic Park. They even had old trailers. Anyways it was still amazing to watch again in theaters. Made me feel like a child again.

[@320iSTWEdition]

I remember watching that with a school mate of mine back in 93...... when we were back in my town i had to drive home with my bike (i already was 16 at the time) and at one time on my ride home i had the distinct feeling i was going to encounter the T-rex...... that was a scary moment i will never forget and that was the impact it had on me..... i was a total JP nut after that movie..... i bought a making of book, a plastic model kit of the Jeep Wrangler from Tamiya and painted it in the color scheme of the movie car and i still have it to this day. Just an amazing ride and yes, i've read the book Dino Park before i saw the movie. But i have never been disappointed of the movie despite the differences between book and movie. Steven Spielberg got the essence of the book and transferred it into this stunning masterpiece.

[@joefries365]

I remember going on a road trip with my parents when i was 8 ( 1998 ) and reading a magazine in the back seat and there was a classic black background yellow and red Jurassic park logo, advertising the moving, i was so excited to watch it i couldn't sleep. And having being a dinosaur guy my whole life i instantly knew i had to watch it and to this day i still love watching it

[@royalcatwalk]

Compliments from the Kingdom of the Netherlands! 🇳🇱

[@remember-when-in-doubt...]

This movie, and really, piece of cinematic history was a huge deal when it came out in a way that is hard to explain to people that weren't there in 1993. It was ground braking, maybe a little bit in the same way i imagine Star Wars to have been 1977. Seeing Jurassic Park i was 9 years together with my brothers and it was the last movie that i ever got to see at the cinema with my father. Miss him. Also John Williams soundtrack made it come alive equally as much as the effects. Classic adventure movie.

[@LukeVesty]

Unquestionably one of the greatest ever films.

[@pst5345]

nostalgia hits hard. Turned 13 at the release 1993 so was just old enough to watch this movie.... and 6 times again after that.

[@edwardsmusic6195]

And the 30 year old original still looks better than any of the sequels. Nothing short of groundbreaking.

[@NomeDeArte]

Remember watching with 10 years old and the with the first brachiosaurus, just start crying, because I never watch a dinosaur so real, the muscles, the bones. And people don't remember but at that time, some (old, fair enough) scientist still debate if dinosaurs was cold blood or not, if their lizards or birds or what, and I already knew the truth but watch in it became real was magic. Thank you all for one of the best cinema experiences ever!

[@sl3102]

This movie has a very special place in my heart. I still remember watching it in the theatre with my dad and being scared to death by the velociraptor surprising Ellie in the bunker. And it still holds up as one of the greatest adventure/action films ever made, with an awesome premise fitting for the genre, a well-written script, believable characters that you really care for and an actual story with a message. Present day Hollywood should take notes because they haven't made 'em like this in a long, long time.

[@blutomindpretzel1735]

30 years ago....I guess I was seven. I specifically remember not being allowed to watch it when it came out. I did anyway on VHS.......and I love it.
