30 Day Sci-Fi Challenge -- Day 1

Favorite Sci-Fi Movie -- Jurassic Park




I know what some of you are thinking. "Wait, you said Back to the Future was your favorite in the last challenge!" Yes I know, but that was because I had already selected Jurassic Park in that challenge and I don't like doubling up if I don't have to. Jurassic Park is actually my favorite Science Fiction movie. BTTF is close though.

I've loved this movie since the first time I saw it, and it always makes me feel so good. I talked about this movie at length during the Film Challenge so I won't do that again. I will mention two things that I talk about every time this movie comes up. First, the score is amazing. I still listen to it quite often, and I think it's John Williams' best work.

30 Day Film Challenge - Day 3

A Film You Watch to Feel Good -- Jurassic Park


I have loved this movie since I first watched it. If that wasn't obvious from the podcast episode I did then you weren't paying attention. The movie is so inspiring in many different ways. It promotes following our dreams, but also cautions us to look before we leap. It shows us dinosaurs through the eyes of a child filled with wonder, the eyes of a scientist filled with intrigue, and the eyes of everyone else filled with terror. 


John Williams' score in this film is beautiful, and I do think it's his finest work. I listen to the soundtrack often and like all great soundtracks it has the power to bring you back to the emotions you feel during the movie.
