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. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0469263/) What are the chances of my stumbling upon a Polish Brothers update the same night Xixax starts an astronaut thread?

this one has OJ!
haha thanks for bringing the thread back to where it belongs, squints. you're awesome.:shock:
Today I finally watched "For All Mankind" (http://www.hulu.com/watch/165094 (http://www.hulu.com/watch/165094) if you have hulu+) for the first time. As I think some have said, It is the only astronaut movie that you ever need to see and it's fantastic. So much so that I resurrected this very old thread to say so.
