Jurassic Park: The 1 Perfect Scene That Cannot Be Topped (& Why)
The Jurassic Park franchise has had many unforgettable moments with its dinosaurs over the years, but the original film has one perfect scene that remains its greatest. The supposedly franchise-ending Jurassic World: Dominion marks the sixth chapter in the near three-decade-long run of the Jurassic Park and subsequent Jurassic World movies, stretching back to Jurassic Park in 1993.

Decades and several sequels later, it also hasn't lost a shred of its chilling impact. That's thanks to a combination of the direction of Steven Spielberg and the visual effects employed to bring the T-Rex to life.
