It would be near impossible to grow up through the 90's and never have heard of Jurassic Park. Whether you were a fan or not, the franchise had a domination and prehistoric footprint on American culture. Even though this film frightened us as children, it was a terror that we willingly and excitingly went back to, time and time again.
