Jurrasic park succeeded because it was a good movie with great storyline and effects. Strangely the movies mentioned here seem to be all comic movies or mainly non serious movies.

It's written and directed by Donald Glut, the guy behind Dinosaurs: The Encyclopedia. It's... uh... Well, the dinosaurs are a lot more convincing than the breasts. And it's got a great-in-a-short-bus-way garage band song about an Allosaurus called Jurassic Punk. And the King of Cartoons is a paleontologist. It's a linear descendant of movies like Ten Million BC and When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth. We need more of this in the cinema -- you can never have too much stop-motion animation and fur bikinis. Dinosaur Valley Girls.

Surprisingly good stop motion animation on some cheesy dinosaurs, and a lot of funny antics. Not exactly a great movie, but one of my personal favorites.

Not the most accurate movies, but the sheer fun makes up for it. TO answer the question, my favorite dino movies are Jurassic Park, Peter Jackson’s King Kong, and Valley of Gwangi.

I don't think they know what that word means. Unless they're describing the mental maturity of the intended audience... Seriously, the leading lady is very, very NOT prepubescent. “Where the prehistoric meets the prepubescent.”
