The Lost World by Michael Crichton

Very different from the movie, Ian Malcolm and a group of fellow scientists go to Site B to research the dinosaurs that are left on the island. Dino mayhem ensues. It is a great book. 
 

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

 

A long time ago, a Prime violated the rules and built a star harvester on Earth. He became “the Fallen” the first Decepticon. Back in the present day, Sam Witwicky is going a little crazy because he held an All Spark shard. Both the Decipticons and the Autobots believe that the symbols that Sam has been seeing could lead to a new source of Energon source. Then of course they have to fight the Fallen that has been revived by Megatron. It is a fun romp.

One of Ray HarryHausen’s creature features, this tells the story of a trip to Venus goes horribly wrong. The astronauts crash land off the coast of Sicily and on board is a small alien creature. Our atmosphere soon makes the creature to grow gigantic and he goes on a rampage throughout Italy and must be stopped. A fun fact: HarryHausen reused the model for the 1981 movie Clash of the Titans. 

    

War Games (1983)

In this scientific romp, the government builds a supercomputer to control all their military operations. Thinking that he is hacking into a new game system, teenager David, accidently starts a nuclear war and has to stop the computer before things get out of control. A fun movie even if the tech is outdated at this point.
