johnny Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I can’t think of a film that holds up better. Discuss this and other films that hold up amazingly well. Imo Jurassic Park holds the crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m confident JP will be timeless and will forever be enjoyed by cinephiles/casuals/adults/kids for as long as film is around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Those CRT computer monitors though. I’ve always thought the practical, puppet Raptor legs when they “jump” on the metal counter in the kitchen looked a bit wonky. All in in all the CG is high quality and used sparingly enough with animatronics and puppets that really keep anything looking too out of place.

Keyser_Soze Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Shawshank Redemption holds up pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number305 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I know in this ADD era the pacing of the movie is not very well appreciated - but 2001 still works wonderfully from a technology standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 *puts on nerdy glasses* Jurassic Park was good but the book was so much better. Movies I think that have aged well or still hold up. Well at least a few of them Addams Family/Values Hot Shots 1&2 Airplane! Terminator 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodporne Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I saw Jurassic Park recently and couldn't believe how fucking good the CGI still looks. It actually works better for me than something like Lord of the Rings for some reason beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Spielberg has quite a few. You can definitely add Saving Private Ryan and Jaws to that list. My personal favorite is the Goonies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it was and then the movie screwed up and didn't kill hammond and then it messed up the sequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I guess it depends on what you mean by "holds up." Are we talking about films from the early 90s what are just as good today as they were then? Because that's a rather large pool. Are we talking about VFX heavy films that are still convincing 25 years on? If so, Jurassic Park falls into an odd place. As one of the first CG heavy movies, I think many films before it hold up better than the films immediately after. Regardless, it's one of my favorite films of all time, and I'd argue it holds up under pretty much any metric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuckle85 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Still the whole package: script, performances, visuals, music, sound design and iconic scenes and quotable dialogue throughout. It's difficult to put into words how special Jurassic Park was when seeing it as a kid in theaters back in 93. There was palatable hype starting with screenshots in magazines, the marketing, action figures, trailers and so on. Then to actually go and watch the movie and have it be as good as it was, exceeding all expectations, talking about it with everyone the next day...the levels of hype and enjoyment it evoked...it isn't something that happens frequently. I don't feel nostalgia very often, but that movie is probably an exception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
