"Failure is not an option" Apollo 13 - One of our all-time favorite movies with one of our all-time favorite movie lines.

Speaking of space - Tom Hanks had producing/acting/directing duties in the HBO miniseries From The Earth To The Moon. A very interesting take on the US Space program of the 1960's.

A really good movie that was a bit overlooked ... Road to Perdition. Worth a look if only to see acting greats Tom Hanks and Paul Newman strut their stuff.
