And while I’m at it, how about the first 1/2 of Jurassic Park (1993). I say the first half because the second half is just a chase film. Exciting & tense action if you like that sort of thing. But, like many films, all the ideas are in the first half. I love that Sam Neill’s character has spent his life piecing together tiny fragments of what long ago animals might have been like… then suddenly… after quick jet, helicopter, and jeep rides, he finds himself in the middle of a field filled with giant creatures he never dreamt he’d see. Inspiring music and glorious cinematography.
