Apollo 13

I have all episodes of Mythbusters in my Amazon Video on Demand library and was watching the one where they investigated the myths about the US faking the moon landings. Got me reminiscent about the movie Apollo 13, which, if you don't know, is a true story. Maybe its my age or my disposition, but that stands as one of the few movies that makes me put down whatever I'm doing and watch it when I come across it on TV. I have some nebulous memories of the actual moon landings and that film encapsulates what I remember about the atmosphere in the country about the NASA programs and the moon shots, specifically. If you haven't watched Apollo 13, set aside the time to catch it one day. I don't think you'll be sorry you did...
