And most likely it's because of that movie that regular people know a Cretaceous even existed and what animals where there. It did kick the field and public interest into high gear.

It absolutely did for me! I know I enjoy dinosaurs because of that movie alone. The awe, the wonder of what could be. It was a glorious time to rent it from Blockbuster and have a family night watching all these movie hits.
