The Right Stuff

Never saw it before. Didn't realize it was over three hours long. I found the whole film on Youtube and thought, "I always wanted to see this, I'll watch the first ten minutes just to see what it's like." That was all she wrote. A great character ensemble and very inspiring story. I thought the "rough around the edges" style to the special effects gave them an incredibly realistic feel, almost like they sent documentary crews into the stratosphere to get this footage. The only downside is that I couldn't stop thinking about all the Simpsons references to famous scenes from the Homer-in-space episode.
