7. Jurassic Park (1993)
My word, need I say anything about this one? Spielberg's ultimate popcorn flick, full of adventure and suspense, heroes and villains, and above all else, some of the most impressive special effects ever seen up to that point. While CGI gets outdated faster than you can believe, Spielberg circumvented this by having an excellent blend of CGI with older tricks, such as miniatures, or - more famously - animatronics for the closeups of the dinosaurs.
All this put together led to Jurassic Park becoming the most successful film made to that point, and even today is well regarded for its influential special effects.
