Crichton came up with the brilliant high concept of a movie about a theme park filled with cloned versions of ancient dinosaurs, which Spielberg brings to life perfectly on the screen.

Of course, with previews for a handful of scientists played by Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, the plan goes awry before the park even opens. Spielberg makes the most of the dinosaurs' limited appearance time, building suspense as the characters try to escape prehistoric predators. The special effects hold up admirably, conveying the awe and fear of these magnificent and deadly creatures that wreak havoc on foolish humans.

Carol Reed directs this film noir adaptation of Graham Greene's novel. American writer Holly Martins, played by Joseph Cotten, arrives in Vienna after being promised a job by his old friend Harry Lime (Orson Welles), only to learn that Harry has apparently died in a car accident.

While investigating the circumstances of Harry's supposed death, Holly becomes involved in a cover-up related to Harry's black market dealings, which reveals corruption in the postwar government. Longtime collaborators Cotten and Wells are a masterful duo, and Wells delivers one of the film's most famous monologues from atop a Ferris wheel. The Third Man is stylish and jaded, with a strikingly downbeat ending that encapsulates its lucid pessimism."

This Academy Award-winning romantic comedy is a warm portrait of Brooklyn's Italian-American community, with touches of magical realism. Cher, who plays the smooth-talking bookkeeper Loretta Castorini, is a deserving winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress.

While her fiancé Johnny Cammalleri (Danny Aiello) is away in Italy nursing his sick mother, Loretta falls in love with her estranged brother Ronnie (Nicolas Cage). Screenwriter John Patrick Shanley and director Norman Jewison make this love story compelling and magical, and the entire film has a hilarious, whimsical tone that celebrates the power of love without sacrificing the cynicism of the characters.
