This movie is literally almost perfect in so many ways. Watching this as a kid and watching this as an adult I'm still discovering new things about the movie.
Going through life you acquire new knowledge, experience, and wisdom, and from life, you acquire a new lens to perceive the world. You acquire new filters and see things in a philosophical sense, you see undertones, metaphors, tools that you never had as a child.
As a kid, I was wowed by the spectacle, but now spectacle had its dropping off point, you can only have so much spectacle until it feels dry and expective. Watching a lot of Michael Bay films has really desensitized me to spectacle and explosions and really pushed me towards meaning and something full of depth.
I cannot think of a more perfect movie than Jurassic Park.
There are so many subtleties that go on through the film that went over my head and made me think. This movie was expertly made.
If you have time here are some examples exploring the depth of this movie.
I didn't realize Hammond's carelessness saved his grandchildren when he was getting the ice cream as he left the refrigerator door open, which is so in line with his character.

Another point was in the scene where they were philosophizing about the creation of the dinosaurs and the projections of light coming from behind the characters, it was to show whose idea is more vibrant and more enlightened.
Jurassic Park is a movie you can watch many times and still see something new, seeing new connections and eureka moments that went over your head.
I can't think of a more perfect movie than this.
Modern movies now are all spectacle and don't have the small nuances of subtext that they had before.

Why Jurassic Park's Ice Cream Scene Is More Important Than You Realized - Looper
The scene in Jurassic Park where Dr. Hammond eats ice cream is more important than you realize, and set up one of the most crucial parts of the entire film.
