I think it's so popular because at the time it had a factor that every great memorable movie can't live without...a good and ORIGINAL idea. I dare you to name one movie in the 20th century that had the idea of a theme park filled with prehistoric creatures brought back from extinction...you can't...and that is what made Jurassic Park such a cult classic and also why Primeval and Terranova (which are really great shows btw) are seen as overated rip offs...because Jurassic Park did it first.
