Tense Hitchockian thriller about a school teacher drawn into romance with a potential murder. I'm surprised this hasn't been remade in some shit American version directed by Adrian Lyne and featuring a serious Meg Ryan.
Actually the film does feature one good joke which happens after the titles and there's a great cameo from Ed Begley Jnr. I do wonder at what point they realised they couldn't hook Ben Stiller...
Still works after all these years because the film is really about the humans rather than the dinosaurs, which are still extraordinarily effective. I haven't seen it in years and was hooked throughout. The performances are lovely.
There are far more than I thought although do 'Never Say Never Again' and 'Octopussy' really count?
