Hands down, The Right Stuff stomps all others. Its definitely the one movie that I can quote line for line from memory (while giggling like an idiot :lol
#1 - The Right Stuff
#2 - Hubble documentary (the NASA one about the last Shuttle mission to service it);
#3 - Race to Mars (Look it up on Youtube, will blow your mind);
#4 - From the Earth to the Moon, Spider/Apollo 11/Apollo 15 episodes (If they count as a movie);
And you know what? I wont even list Apollo 13 as #5, cause I don't think it was actually that good. Quite frankly, Apollo 13 seems worse and worse as time goes on, while all of the other movies in the list get better. I guess the film just doesn't age well for me :shrug:
I didn't list any Star <Wars/Trek> etc., since I don't they they actually measure up as real "Space Movies", but of that category, I would say:
#1 - Revenge of the Sith
#2 - First Contact
#3 - Return of the Jedi
#4 - The Undiscovered Country
#5 - A New Hope
#6 - Wrath of Khan (I mean really, how could I not mention it?)
And in conclusion, just to convince you that I really am crazy, I have my "Firefly Plan":

Code:
// The Firefly Plan ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// In order to avoid MFWS (Massive Firefly Withdrawal Syndrome)
// I will now plan to evenly space my viewings of the remaining Firefly
// episodes and movies.
2018 - "Shindig"
2023 - "Safe"
2027 - "Our Mrs Reynolds"
2031 - "Jaynestown"
2036 - "Out of Gas"
2040 - "Ariel"
2045 - "War Stories"
2049 - "Trash"
2054 - "The Message"
2058 - "Heart of Gold"
2063 - "Objects in Space"
2067 - "Serenity"
// Projecting from the currently listed
// expected lifespan of a Canadian male, the above schedule of
// viewings should allow for a minimum of Firefly withdrawal,
// given that I will most likely be able to find more significant
// uses of my time in my later years. These lifespan estimates may be on the
// conservative side, given that I dont drink, smoke, am in reasonably
// good physical shape, and dont participate in any excessively dangerous
// activities. However, the error bars on any human lifespan projection
// must be quite large, so the above assessment seems reasonable
// Common symptoms of MFWS include a blank expression, loss of will to live,
// frequent comparisons/complaints about any show not named Firefly being
// revived, and frequently shaking ones fist at the sky while yelling "FOX!!!"
