The best space film? "a voyage inside MF's head".

Primer is good syfy, cheaply made and hard to follow but interesting none the less...

+1 for Dark Star, especially when you remember it was carpenter and o'bannon's college project, and that o'bannon went on to write Alien. First space movie where everything wasn't shiny shiny.

The best space film of all time - ARMAGEDDON.

Also some of the ones mentioned in this thread. Moon, Sunshine, Aliens, 2001, Apollo 13, Forbidden Planet.

The series Firefly was better than Serenity the film.

The original Solaris was good. I liked Prometheus on the second viewing. Also Pitch Black, The Right Stuff, Contact.

Trek films; The Star Trek Reboot (1), Star Trek - The Wrath of Khan. I also have a soft spot for The Undiscovered Country.

Barbarella, mmmm...

I've got fond memories of it

Really? Really?? Really???

Perhaps it's time for a remake.

[Platypus]

That is a good film.

Really? Really?? Really???

It's laughable rubbish!

And the trailer isn't the worst of it by a mile

EDIT: ok, to be fair, anyone who remembers seeing it when they were a kid should rewatch it now.

Silent running.

That is a good film.

Only recently discovered Firefly/Serenity.

It's Shiny!

Another vote for Serenity. Joss Whedon is a good writer.

More syfy than space, but Blade Runner by a mile. Latest Star trek was good as well. Strictly space, Silent Running.

Nah, Blade Runner is one of my favourite films of all time but it's definitely not a space film.

Well if it's Sci-fi, then Dune.
