The Ultimate Jeff Goldblum Gift Guide | ScreenRant
Jeff Goldblum is an actor known for Jurassic Park and Independence Day, amongst other roles. He's keen to play snarky guys who have a good heart.

From the newer Independence Day: Resurgence to Thor: Ragnarok, Goldblum is back in style.
He's adapted his oddball personality into some of the most enjoyable characters out there. Whether you've been a fan since his days as Dr. Ian Malcolm trying to survive dinosaurs, or you've recently spied him in Thor or The Grand Budapest Hotel, this list is for you!
So check out this Goldblum Gift Guide for memes gifts, his best movies, and a few surprises!
10 The Fly Collector's Set
This list starts off with a bang. The 1986 Sci-fi/Thriller The Fly is a gory good time. This film recounts the tale of Goldblum as Dr. Seth Brundle, an eclectic scientist who is on the verge of a new discovery - teleportation pods.
With the help of Ronnie, a journalist, he tries to make the two pods transfer living creatures. The problem is, it only works on inanimate objects. After fixing the device to work for humans, he goes into the pod... and comes out seemingly unharmed. But his invention goes horribly wrong - a fly was in the other pod. Seth's DNA is slowly being worked into an amalgamated fly mutant. The results are a gory sci-fi story with a heart of gold.
9 Jeff Goldblum Pillowcase
Okay, we're at that weird place again. You know, that place where you want to look away but can't? That's this pillowcase. You knew this gift guide had to include something a bit off, so here it is. Jeff Goldblum gently having his arms around a monkey is as perfect as it gets. Goldblum wears his typical perplexed facial expression with ease as if his entire life led to this perplexing moment.
This pillowcase is perfect to Goldblum fans, or for those who need a funny gift for a friend. Either way, the case is comfy and Jeff Goldblum is iconic. That's a win-win.
8 Thor: Ragnarok
For those who never saw Thor: Ragnarok, you're doing yourself a disservice. This 2017 sci-fi/fantasy movie is perfect for Thor fans as well as Goldblum fans. Starring Thor as a man on a mission, he finds himself imprisoned on a weird world. The devastating "Ragnarok" is threatened to be unleashed on his people of Valhalla; will Thor be able to return home and stop it?
Goldblum plays the role of the Grandmaster, a being who hosts a gladiatorial game planet on the far edge of the universe. This Marvel flick has intense action, a hilarious sense of humor, and Goldblum. What more could you ask for?
7 Thor: Ragnarok Grandmaster Funko POP (Con Exclusive)
Now that you've seen Thor: Ragnarok, you clearly are excited to proclaim your love for the main character! You need the Grandmaster merchandise. Who else would I be talking about? Thor? Pff, puny god. This Grandmaster Funko POP is a Convention Exclusive only available to 2017 cons, so due note that all online merchants are reselling it.
With a limited run, you know this Funko POP means business. With his signature robes and painted nails, the Grandmaster is styling his way into your heart. Don't forget who the main character of Thor: Ragnarok is, okay?
6 The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou
A quirky comedy full of A-List actors and directed by Wes Anderson? Count us in! The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is quite a unique journey. Steve Zissou (played by Bill Murray) and company are on a journey to find and get revenge against the "jaguar shark."
This mythical creature ate his partner and Steve will not rest until it is found. With stars like Goldblum, Cate Blanchett, Owen Wilson, and William Dafoe, what more could one ask for? Despite being a box office failure, this film went on to amass countless fans after release. Some movies are just ahead of their time.
5 Independence Day
Independence Day is perhaps one of the greatest alien invasion movies of all time. Bill Pullman, Will Smith, and Jeff Goldblum become unlikely allies as a horrific alien race tries to annihilate our planet. The most important person, obviously, is Jeff Goldblum.
Whether or not my last sentence is factual does not matter, as Jeff plays David Levinson, a satellite techie who helps save the day. This film started a renewal of sci-fi and disaster flicks in the late 1990s. It was critically-acclaimed and went on to make $817.4 million worldwide. You know why? Goldblum magic.
4 The Goldblum Variations
Sometimes you feel like you could use a handbook to get you through life. And while we may not have a handbook with all of the answers to life, we have one with all of the answers to Jeff Goldblum - so that should count for something.
Helen McClory has created a journey for readers to explore with her; The Goldblum Variations holds one thing dear. The inner machinations of Jeff Goldblum and his appearances over time. What is even more fantastic is that Goldblum allegedly thought the idea was fantastic and even commended McClory on her book! Inside lies games, stories, and a puzzle or two to hold you over for more Goldblum-isms.
3 Jurassic Park
This classic movie instilled a sense of wonderment and fear in individuals around the world. Jurassic Park was a movie ahead of its time. With stunning CGI and realistic animatronics, Jurassic Park holds up incredibly well, even today. After a rogue accident off of the coast of Puerto Rico, an eccentric billionaire flies in a ragtag crew to save the day. What they learn is a dark but exciting truth: that this island has recreated dinosaurs. Yeah. And these dinos aren't excited to be caged up.
Starring Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill, and Laura Dern, we traverse the beautiful island of Isla Nublar while getting an amusement park ride worth of thrills.
2 Dr. Ian Malcolm Jeff Goldblum 3.75-inch Action Figure
Dr. Malcolm is on a quest to help stop the Jurassic Park creatures from leaving the island - can you help him? Armed with a sole flare and dastardly good looks, you're off to fend off prehistoric creatures and keep your wits about you!
What better way to celebrate one of Jeff Goldblum's best roles than an action figure of Dr. Ian Malcolm getting his leg gnawed on?! This little green guy, known lovingly as a 'Compy' seems to have bit off more than he can chew. Check out other figures from the Jurassic World Legacy Collection that feature other iconic characters and moments.
1 Jurassic Park - Dr. Ian Malcolm Wounded Funco POP
Perhaps you knew this would happen. That some version of this would appear on the list, one way or another. Who knew it would be as a Funco POP? The image of Dr. Malcolm, lounging near-shirtless after being wounded in Jurassic Park is a meme at worst and iconic at best. It surely attracted enough positive attention to warrant a Funko POP figure.
Perhaps it would be good luck if you set him on the dashboard in your car, to keep watch. Perfect for collectors of Jurassic Park as a series and die-hard fans of Goldblum.
