Movies featuring the Moon.
The thread on the next Halloween movie got me to thinking. How many movies have prominently featured the earth's moon* as a setting for a decent part of the film?
Off hand I can think of:
2001: A Space Odyssey
Amazon Women on the Moon
Superman IV
and a couple of others I can't remember the name of.
So, let's hear 'em.
*not to be confused with the act of mooning, which has its own thread.

OK, seeing the moon in the night sky does NOT count as "prominently featuring the earth's moon as a setting for a decent part of the film".

Does The Truman Show count, since a decent portion of the film takes place "inside the headquarters made to look like a moon" moon?
Oh and
at Moontrap that's a B movie classic... gotta put that one on my list now! Right up there with 'Virus'!
