Only one of your movies (The Black Hole) actually takes place in Space!

I vote for Apollo 13.

2001 - it's the only movie where you don't think "if they could only have sound in space!"

Let's not forget all those wonderfully naive early 50's movies such as:

Destination Moon
Rocketship X-M
First Spaceship on Venus

Err... Favorite movies set in space? Or favorite movies with a space theme? Or just favorite sci-fi films? Shannon Nutt hit the nail on the head, your list of "space" movies is very much Earth bound. So, I guess sci-fi films is the criteria... ??? I own the following that have space themes...

2001: ASO
Alien
Aliens
Alien 3
Andromeda Strain
Contact
Day The Earth Stood Still
Gattaca
Right Stuff
Solaris (72)
Solaris (02)
