The CGI in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park was so good, it convinced: • George Lucas to get started on the “Star Wars” prequels • Stanley Kubrick to invest in “A.I.” • Peter Jackson to make “Lord of the Rings” Lesson: Spielberg is responsible for Jar Jar Binks. t.co/Ed5jHfGIuM

Jurassic Park def has one of the best "legacy" sections on Wikipedia t.co/3sts7IUKYV t.co/owOnYtZRpP

Side note: Steven Spielberg made $250m from Jurassic Park (merch and box office) -- its the single largest sum any individual has made from one film. t.co/8aXcaHylgm

Also, this bit of foreshadowing was amazing: "Dr Alan Grant (Sam Neill) fashions a functioning seatbelt with only two latches and no latch plate. This foreshadows a later scene where the dinosaurs are suddenly able to breed despite all originally being female" (Buzzfeed) t.co/gGUpDgAnQM
