My pick this time is JURASSIC PARK (1993).
Steven Spielberg’s dino classic is the perfect pick for an island-themed night. The Isla Nublar isn't just a backdrop, it’s the whole point! A remote paradise turned playground for cloned dinosaurs, cut off from the mainland and (crucially) from help when things go wrong.
The practical effects and animatronics feel more alive than half of today’s CGI, John Williams’ score is pure goosebumps the second that T. rex silhouette appears, and the pacing is a masterclass… It takes its time building wonder before flipping into pure tension.
The island setting does real work here: isolation ratchets up the stakes, the lush jungle hides both beauty and danger, and there’s nowhere to run once the power goes out. A survival story "65 million years in the making", that only works because escape is not an option. With fantastic performances by Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Richard Attenborough.
The AUGUST #CaturdayPoll is now closed and we got in a total of 7 votes—big thanks to those #Tanglers who took the time to cast their vote!
The winning theme for this month’s #HumpdayAndChill event is … 🏝️ Movies Set on an Island (Films set mainly on an island)
