REWIND OF THE WEEK
Jurassic Park (1993)
Return to this Steven Spielberg classic if for no other reason than to admire Laura Dern's character's ahead-of-her-time feminism and sensible footwear. While the dinos are the stars of the show in this flick, they only appear onscreen for 15 minutes total. A lot of work went into crafting the extinct animals for their short screen time, including live-action robots and CGI effects. It was all worth it, though, as the film took home three Academy Awards.
Click here to stream Jurassic Park on Netflix beginning Aug. 1.
