Jurassic Park (1993)

I won tickets to see this in 2017 with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra performing the John Williams score live, and the movie - about a dinosaur breakout in an ill-conceived Jurassic themepark - is so full of thrilling Spielberg setpieces and humour, and special effects still impressive today, that I forgot to stop even for a moment to appreciate the orchestra.

Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians (And Then There Were None) (1974)

An Agatha Christie adaptation, Ten Little Indians (or less controversially, And Then There Were None) has ten individuals including Oliver Reed, Richard Attenborough, and a singing, piano-playing Charles Aznavour gather in a remote Iranian desert mansion (not the book's island off the Devon coast) summoned by a mysterious host and, from their first tension-filled dinner, these guests are picked off one-by-one by a killer whose identity and motives are the surprise revelation at film's end.
