Jurassic Park is a widely appreciated movie which came out in 1993 based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name. It is a staple among many family DVD collections due to its subject matter of dinosaurs, which have attracted the imaginations of children for many years. The film received a PG-13 rating for intense science fiction terror.

The science fiction focus of Jurassic Park was a draw for not only children but filmmakers as well. At its time, the movie opened up a new world of CGI effects which have influenced many films since. As a result, fantasy movies lovers are often rating it as integral a part of their DVD collections as the children who grew up with it.

When Jurassic Park came out, many critics felt that it sacrificed too much of the potential intensity it could have held in order to remain a family friendly movie. However, it does have its fair share of blood, violence, and even a few curse words which leave it firmly deserving of its PG-13 rating.

The two sequels to the film also share its PG-13 status. It is possible to purchase all three as part of a DVD trilogy set.
