10 Incredible Shots That Totally Defined Movies

It's a visual that so perfectly encompasses the wonderful absurdity of dinosaurs existing in the modern world - or better still, the human arrogance of believing that we would ever be capable of taming and controlling them.

And it's all topped off by the "When dinosaurs ruled the Earth" banner, serving as an undeniably unsubtle yet playful reiteration of the film's primary theme, an enduring testament to the film's impossibly well-aged visual effects, and also a giddy homage to Val Guest's 1970 dinosaur film of the same name.
