Herzog's "the wild blue yonder"!
Actually it wasn't that great, but it did contain some fascinating astronaut footages and such.
Astronaut movies all suck. I mean, either they encounter aliens and things like that which disqualifies them 'cause then they're just straight sci-fis (like Mission to Mars or 2001) or they somehow end up glorifying the American way like Armageddon and Apollo 13. I love The Upright Citzens Brigade's disdain for the astronauts.

I cannot wait for this movie. What are the chances of my stumbling upon a Polish Brothers update the same night Xixax starts an astronaut thread?
