I’ve got a certain fondness for The Lost World. I understand that it’s pretty mediocre when you really break it down, but at the end of the day it’s a movie with dinosaurs, a cast I like, and a John Williams score. I’d have to see them both again to be sure because it’s been a while, but the more I think about Jurassic World, the more I think I prefer The Lost World. My ranking (with the caveat that the original is the only one I’ve watched since the weekend JW became available on Comcast):
- Jurassic Park (obviously)
- The Lost World: Jurassic Park
- Jurassic World
- Jurassic Park III
Anyway, my TFA blu-ray arrived yesterday so I watched that, but I’ve given my opinion of that many times already over in General Star Wars Discussion. the second to last movie I’ve watched was Becket, for which Peter O’Toole and Richard Burton were both nominated for Best Actor Oscars. Predictably spectacular performances that both deserved the award more than the one that actually won (Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady, I believe).
