Jurassic Park

I LOVE these movies. I also love how every time Jeff Goldblum stars in anything, he’s playing Jeff Goldblum.

The Lost World

Loved Jeff Goldblum in this. This was the only sequel I really enjoyed.

The Thin Man

These movies are classics for all the right reasons. Love Myrna Loy and William Powell together.
