It's surprising that no one had mentioned the ultimate space movie "Interstellar", which nearly lasts for 3 hours and you never get bored of it, it's the closest movie to real science, plus it has so many messages hidden in it for us to understand, if you aren't aware of real space science than i can understand why you didn't enjoy the movie, because things keeps getting more and more complicated in the movie, so if you're not aware of what's really happening than you won't be able to enjoy it!

[DeeDeeDeVour]

It's not easy to choose a "number 1" among these:

Deep Impact,

The Martian,

Apollo 13,

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home,

The Right Stuff,

Close Encounters of the Third Kind,

Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope

&

Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi

[DeeDeeDeVour]

So, I might as well just enumerate all my favorite space movies.

[TonyMetal___86]

Nice choice, except i'm not a fan of star wars 😄

[tfan1]

I have too many to have just one favorite. Star Trek movies. Star Wars episodes 1-6 only, red planet, Apollo 13, 2010 the year we make contact, titan A. E., spaceballs, the last Starfighter, space camp, space cowboys, Salvage one, moonraker, earth star voyager, rocketman, wall-e, explorers,

[TonyMetal___86]

Cool list 👍🏻

[tfan1]

Thanks the only ones that’s missing is 2001 a space Odyssey sphere and event horizon pretty much 😛

[TonyMetal___86]

Sphere and event horizon are on my personal best space movies list haha
Event horizon needed a sequel but sadly it just ended there!

If you like sphere than you must be a fan of sunshine too and if you like event horizon than you must be a fan of pandorum too 😉

[tfan1]

Never heard of the other two before

[TonyMetal___86]

Try watch to watch both and you won't regret it and when you do, just give me your feedback 🙂

[NathanDavis]

why? because of Denise Richards... lol

[TonyMetal___86]

Isen't this the "space troopers" movies, there are 3...
Denise was in the first one 😁

[NathanDavis]

Starship Troopers... yes

I was not aware of the sequels... lmao

[TonyMetal___86]

Yes the 2nd sequel is not related to the first one but still good to watch but the third one is the real sequel and it was cool to watch, especially that they brought back "johnny rico" from the first episode hehe

[Unycorn]

Space cowboys

Because it is funny, reminds me a little bit of the next movie:


Armageddon

Classic

[TonyMetal___86]

Space cowboys 😄

Armageddon was one of my favorite teenage sci-fi movies, a combination of suspence, romance and drama hehe

Don't forget the movie's theme song, it was iconic...

"Don't wanna close my eyes, don't wanna fall in sleep, cause i still miss you babe and i don't wanna miss a thing"

Don't know if i wrote the lyrics correctly, when you mentioned the name of the movie, the song had instantly came to my mind 🙂

[Unycorn]

Aerosmith ... yes.

[TonyMetal___86]

[AI Opinion]

My number one favorite space movie is "Interstellar." The striking visuals, emotionally resonant storyline, and Hans Zimmer's beautiful score make for a mesmerizing experience. 🌌 It explores complex scientific theories with practical and emotional dimensions. The film blends hard science with human emotion seamlessly, creating a captivating narrative. Additionally, the performances of the talented cast, including Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, make "Interstellar" an unforgettable cinematic journey. 🚀

[Xawyx-2]

I like old Star Trek movies, Star Wars movies, Stargate, and even some other sci-fi movies not directly related to space (for example Blade Runner).

[TonyMetal___86]

You have a cool selection, i agree with you except for star wars, i'm not a fan of it hehe

When we talk about stargate, i was fascinated more by their first movie, the one where they discover the gate and travel to another pyramid, the place where they discover that the pharaoe and his guards are all aliens...

[Xawyx-2]

Indeed, it was a very intriguing movie.

[Xawyx-2]

Ah, right, Interstellar, I liked that movie, but it was kinda too serious compared to most sci-fi movies I tend to watch.

[TonyMetal___86]

👍🏻👍🏻

[Chazmatazz269]

My favorite blockbuster space movie is “Aliens”.
“Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone” is a lesser known favorite.

[TonyMetal___86]

I guess that we agree on '"aliens", to enjoy it more, you have to know the complete story in order to watch them in the right order 🙂

[Chazmatazz269]

I disagree. “Aliens” offers enough exposition through dialogue and flashback for it to stand alone as a great movie. You don’t need to have seen the first to appreciate it, but it doesn’t hurt. “Alien” is a brilliant flick that has stood the test of time and remains high on my list of favorite scifi and horror movies. I just enjoy the sequel a bit more for various reasons.

[TonyMetal___86]

It's because you're enjoying each episode on it's own, just like i did before, ut believe me when you know the whole story, it will make a lot more sense plus you will be able to connect the events with each other...

[exitseven]

I liked Star Trek :The voyage Home. It was really the last Star Trek movie that was any good. It had a good story and lots of humor. Leonard Nimoy directed it and did a great job. William Shatner demanded that he direct the next movie and it stunk.

[TonyMetal___86]

I don't remember if i had watched this one...
Do you suggest that i watch it?

[exitseven]

it was the one with the whales

[TonyMetal___86]

I don't remember it...
I have watched star trek: into darkness, also another one that i forgot it's name...

[exitseven]

I think you can watch it on Paramount +

[TonyMetal___86]

Not an American citizen hehe
Don't worry, i have my ways to download this movie and watch it, only if it's worth it...

First i'll watch the trailer and read the movie's plot...

[exitseven]

it was really good if you like Star Trek.

[TonyMetal___86]

I'm a big fan of the star trek episodes, not the movies!
Plus my favorite star trek episodes were "the next generation" & "voyager"

SpaceBalls!

[TonyMetal___86]

Looks like a funny movie 🤣🤣

[BonzoInBitburg]

Classic movie

[DryGermanGuy]

Apollo 13. I like that it's a real story, expertly reenacted.

[TonyMetal___86]

I have to take a look at it, is it for sandra bullock 🤔

[DryGermanGuy]

Nope.

[TonyMetal___86]

Seems like a cool movie 👍🏻

Thank you

You're welcome 🙂

[Cidknee]

Atsa' tough one Tony. I'm not sure but the first Star Trek with Chris Pine was very, very good.

[TonyMetal___86]

Star trek the movies or the episodes?

[Cidknee]

The remake in 2009 I believe it was.

[TonyMetal___86]

Didn't watch it...

[Cidknee]

Oooof, you should!

[TonyMetal___86]

👍🏻👍🏻

[Siajanua2027]

UFO (old British series, available on youtube. com0

why it is accurate even though it was made over 4 decades ago!!!

[TonyMetal___86]

So the series were filmed in the 1970's? What made these series so special? Were they better than star trek enterprise and star wars?

[Siajanua2027]

Much more realistic than star trek, by far! No weird looking Aliens who spoke English in space! None of that crap!

[Siajanua2027]

www.youtube.com/watch

[TonyMetal___86]

That's good, i need to take a look at it...
You know in star trek, the aliens didn't talk English but you heard them talking English because starfleet used the universal translator and that's why everyone seemed as if they were talking English, in many episodes we heard the klingons talking in their language, plus we knew that the volcans communicate with each other through telepathic abilities...

[Siajanua2027]

true

[Kaneki05]

Enders Game without a doubt

[Kaneki05]

And why? Because it's brutal and the book is great getting an actual decent film version

[TonyMetal___86]

Never heard of it, i'll take a look at it and see it's plot!

[Kaneki05]

I'd recommend the book more so than the film as it's uncensored, and has been banned from schools at times due to that. The film was made to be a 12A or PG-13 taking out somethings that would've made it not so.
Despite that the overall message of the story still gets shown and made my dad be able to take me to Cinema to see it when I was young, and then he gave me the book afterwards.
I disagree with it's banning and don't think it's that bad but it's mature, as a kid I was allowed to read anything thankfully my parents had no issue with that.
Still had to watch horror films secretly, could read The Exorcist but not watch the film but the book is vastly better anyway.

It's mostly about forcing kids to be part of a war not understanding what they're really doing, with a lot of issues and complexity's to that idea within.

As to interstellar that film just bored me, it was a long film of nothing. And I'm someone who's read Hawking's works and listens to Neil deGrasse Tyson all the time, so I'm very much a science nerd but that film did nothing for me. I'd rather just watch him talk about it.

[TonyMetal___86]

It was more of a real science than science fiction but i agree that the movie is very long, if you're into action than this movie will surely bore you hehe

[queenofcardio]

I only like one of the star wars movies

[TonyMetal___86]

What i don't like about star wars, there's too much fiction in it and chaos...

[Dargil]

2001, A Space Odyssey.

[TonyMetal___86]

This movie is iconic, it serves as the base of space sci-fi movies hehe

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Probably CNN

[TonyMetal___86]

They are reptilians 🤣🤣

[zombiewoof]

Enemy Mine

[TonyMetal___86]

Never watched this movie, but what makes it special and why is it your number 1 space movie?
Though it was filmed from 41 years ago, back in 1985...

[zombiewoof]

Dennis Quaid and Louis Gossit Jr. one human, one alien fighting each other in space, crash land on a deserted planet, enemies must learn to rely on one another to survive a planet that could kill them

[TonyMetal___86]

That's nice, i need to check it out!
Even though when it comes to the 80's i prefer to watch the alien franchise movies and predator for arnold shwarzenegger 😄

[Chazmatazz269]

Classic!

[TonyMetal___86]

@Chazmatazz269 the classics are somewhat good because they lack the special effects part and there's no cgi and no nothing...

Gene roddenberry was excellent at making you believe the unbelievable in his era because he was good in directing' sci-fi movies...
