Iron Sky.
I like a lot of the films mentioned, but I really liked this one ...the personal reflections, the really nice Phil Sheppard soundtrack.... and especially this ending:
Also liked the redo of Solaris.
That said...even with all the great films that have come out since then, I have to say the most impressive space film experience I had was spring of 1968 when my dad drove my brother and me to the Uptown in Washington DC for the premier of 2001, in Cinerama. It was like a realization of all the great space flights we had only been able to see in Life magazine and TV , leading up to Apollo 8 that December...and the landing the next summer. Incredible exciting times those days. And Kubrick elevated the state of the art.
YES!!!Galaxy Quest
Sunshine
Sunshine is a great movie until the last 3rd when it turns into a monster movie.
So, no one picked Passengers?

Gravity is on my bucket list! The Graphics are soooo goood!
Several of my friends and neighbors went to see Gravity on my advice and were disappointed...one in particular, (a self appointed film critic). I went to see it four times in 3D...yeah, the plot was kinda weak and there are scientific inaccuracies, but in 3D with the sound.....it was like a E ticket ride at Disneyworld.....and I loved it each time.Agree about the graphics, but some of the sound effects are so good they send a shiver up my spine whenever I hear it.
Gattaca was great. FYI, the title comes from using combinations of the nitrogen bases that code our DNA (A,C,G,T).Gattaca (though this barely fits in as a "Space Movie")
Marooned was good, but the book was so much better with the "flashbacks" to learning to fly!Th Right Stuff and The Martian.
Marooned is a great one, too. 1969 with Gregory Peck, Gene Hackman, James Franciscus and Richard Crenna.
2 Netflix movies I enjoyed were Moon and Europa Report.
Fun fact: there were two different books by Martin Caidin. The first one had Pruett marooned alone in a Mercury flight (he was rescued), the second was (I think) written after, and adapted from, the movie (Pruett died attempting to fix the SM engine). I've got both books. Check eBay, look for the book with an outline of Mercury capsule.Marooned was good, but the book was so much better with the "flashbacks" to learning to fly!
