Apollo 13. Watched it years ago but this time it was even better than I remembered.
Yeah, another great film by Ron Howard ... I can remember being in school and watching them return to earth live on TV ... the cameras waiting for the three parachutes to appear through the clouds, (radio silence through re-entry, so no one knew if they had made it) ... to celebrate their safe return, school was let out early. That was an amazing experience ... it's all anybody was thinking and talking about every day, "Will the astronauts make it home?" ... the entire world was transfixed by it. Something I'll never forget ... seeing those parachutes and the capsule appear through the clouds ... the whole school, (and the rest of the world), was cheering ... awesome to live through those times.
