14. Jurassic Park Reinvented Cinema
In 1993, Spielberg took the cinematic world by storm when he adapted Michael Crichton’s thriller about dinosaurs in the modern world to the big screen. The film earned close to one billion dollars at the box office, setting yet another record for the highest-grossing film. It was the first in a franchise of both movies and other entertainment forms and, with George Lucas providing the special effects, set a new standard for Hollywood thrillers.
