- vich11, on 07/14/2009, -5/+25Hey ***** - this is a list commemorating real spaceflight, not dumb-assed scifi/fantasy action movies.
- DirtyBurger, on 07/14/2009, -1/+12Excuse me, but Armageddon was serious. Anything with Steve Buscemi operating a machine gun in space should taken very seriously.
- JoeHague, on 07/14/2009, -1/+11"I usually like Bay...."
Here on Digg that's almost as bad as saying you're a Republican/ - anaclagon, on 07/14/2009, -0/+10So I guess 'Space Camp' sucked after all.
- AmazingSteve, on 07/14/2009, -2/+11"Hey Ridley got a stick of Beeman's?"
"I might have me a stick."
"Well loan it me and I'll pay ya back later."
"Fair enough." - eyelark, on 07/14/2009, -0/+7Awesome list. In the Shadow of the Moon should be required viewing for everyone.
- TranquilNight, on 07/15/2009, -0/+7Tom Hanks is in three of these.
Hmmmmmmmm... - mnpilot, on 07/14/2009, -1/+8You showed your stupidity on the first sentence, then had to go into a movie quote to put the ***** cherry on your failure of a comment.
- a5ph, on 07/14/2009, -1/+85) Apollo 13 (1995)
4) Magnificent Desolation (2005)
3) The Right Stuff (1983)
2) In the Shadow of The Moon (2007)
1) From the Earth to the Moon (1998) - loneraver, on 07/15/2009, -0/+6From the Earth to the Moon wasn't a movie.....it's a mini series. I can understand an honorable mention to a miniseries but not first place.
- heaintheavy, on 07/15/2009, -0/+5Anyone in the UK gonna see "Moon" by Duncan Jones on 7/17? When is the US release?
- AmazingSteve, on 07/14/2009, -0/+5BTW Digging down Right Stuff quotes gives puppies Aids.
- Spyder2k, on 07/14/2009, -0/+4I guess Tom Hanks didn't get his dream job
- RedStateRetard, on 07/14/2009, -0/+4Don Knotts gets no love.
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -0/+4"For All Mankind" by National Geographic was also superb- it conveys better than any other film the wonder and amazement of going to the moon.
- marmotjmarmot, on 07/14/2009, -0/+4NASA Director: This could be the worst disaster NASA's ever faced.
Gene Kranz: With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour.
I remember staying up and praying, hoping, and wishing with the rest of America and the world that they would get back home.
I don't understand why we have not gone farther in the past 40 years; How have we lost 14 people on basically a 'space truck' and not been back to the moon or something more epic?
Sometimes, I fear that I have see the finest hour of NASA that will be in my lifetime. - marmotjmarmot, on 07/14/2009, -0/+4Say, Hot Dog; what the hell does "astronaut" mean, anyway?
- publiczenemi, on 07/14/2009, -0/+4Gene Kranz is a very nice man in person. I live 1.1 miles from Johnson Space Center, so I see all these guys at Kroger.
- oda1, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3No "Space Chimps"?
- saltybull, on 07/14/2009, -0/+3In the Shadow of The Moon is one hell of a Movie and it;s a Documentary!
- tkcom, on 07/14/2009, -2/+5No Capricorn One = conspiracy theorists in rage
- heaintheavy, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Now yer talkin'!
- Chewie67, on 07/15/2009, -1/+4FAIL.
The Right Stuff is THE BEST Astronaut movie. Period. - daone, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Your right From the Earth to the Moon is a Mini Series. But I myself have yet to ever see a movie or mini series that better captures the real trial and error that NASA experienced to get men safely to and back from the moon.
I also agree that "Spider" is my favorite episode out of the mini series. - tastic, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2The scene where the astronauts divvy up the survival gear and OJ is handed the knife is priceless.
- marmotjmarmot, on 07/14/2009, -0/+2Looks like there's a plane out there with my name on it....
- RedHawk911, on 07/14/2009, -1/+3Yeah i know, don't care. It's just my opinion
- inactive, on 07/14/2009, -4/+6It never ceases to amaze me that what we did in 1969, eleven !! years before I was even born makes most of the ***** science fiction on "Scy-Fy" look even *****.
- RiperSnifle, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2What about the film made by the US government that made everyone believe we went to the moon? Wake up people, how can we do such a thing when ....
Oh wait, that's paranoid lunatics. - Pentay, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2I can't find a solid mainstream release date for the US. If they feed us the ***** that has come out this year and not Moon, I'm going to be very upset, then get over it, then realize that I shouldn't dismiss these "America Fails" so easily, then do nothing immediately about it, etc..
- RickCarstens, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2i haven't seen 5 of them... i have to rent their DVD sooner...
- RedHawk911, on 07/14/2009, -4/+5No, Armageddon was bad. I usually like Bay but that one sucked...
- RedStateRetard, on 07/14/2009, -0/+1More like: people just avoiding OJ Simpson.
- thinkb4utype, on 07/14/2009, -1/+2I nominate a TV show: "I Dream of Jeannie"
Every week is another gripping drama of an astronaut torn between his duty and a hot chick who lives at the bottom of a bottle (a classic alcoholic fantasy). When was the last time some girl called you "master"? - heaintheavy, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1yeah, i am an idiot.
- Captj, on 07/15/2009, -1/+2There's more than 5?
J/k. Thank god Solaris wasn't on there. I haven't seen it in years, but as far as I remember it was terrible. - TranquilNight, on 07/15/2009, -4/+5No 2001? ***** THIS
- loneraver, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1I really wanted to like that series but something that I couldn't put my finger on it. It felt a little forced and that's too bad because I REALLY WANTED TO LIKE THIS.
- sizzzzlerz, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1From the Earth to the Moon is absolutely the very best series about what the Apollo program was like that has ever been filmed. My favorites were the episode on the building of the LEM and the Apollo 11 landing. The latter actually brought me to tears, it was so realistic and I was fortunate to have seen the landing on TV back in 1969. Rent it or buy it if you want to know what it was like.
- RiperSnifle, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1I can't wait to see that movie. July 24 in Ottawa, Canada.
- justanotherday, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1"Star Voyager."
"Star Voyager Gus Grissom. I kinda like the sound of that." - Schpamm, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Technicalities aside, the greatest astronaut movie ever is Star Trek, because if you ever talk to a NASA employee, 99% of them will tell you that Star Trek inspired their love of space.
- falconear, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1"Now I really am a wetback..."
Classic. Also, the scene where they all refuse to fly if they don't get a window. Also - Chuck Yeager=Badass. - mrlivedog, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1That movie was awesome; it's probably my favorite movie of the year so far.
- cosworth99, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1"Boy, you said it Chewie"
- cinder, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1Agreed. Excellent series, I watch it all the time. Even better is the book it's based on: A Man on the Moon by Andrew Chaikin.
- manguino, on 07/15/2009, -2/+2Seriously, where was 2001: A Space Odyssey?
- mrro, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1My vote goes to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdmqBmiEZd4
- justanotherday, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0Armageddon is film that is shown to prospective NASA managers with the main part of the exercise being to list all the mistakes, technical inaccuracies, and just plain impossibilities in the film.
