1 of 38

 

The goat establishes that we're back in the paddock, while also sneakily priming us for the much more shocking shot later, when the goat will be gone.

We don't see it until about an hour into the movie, but the Tyrannosaurus rex in Spielberg's Jurassic Park -- and the scene that builds up to its violent arrival -- is the best in the film, the 3D version of which hits theaters on Friday.
