Much imitated but never equalled, this is the definitive space nightmare. The crew of a commercial spacecraft are stalked by a stowaway, mutating monster of veracious appetite. Weaver puts in a splendidly believable performance as the resourceful Ripley. Taut script and awesome special FX.

APOLLO 13 (1995)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Superb FX, slick direction and spot-on characterisation combine to make this a truly thrilling account of the jinxed 1970 Moon mission. OK, so we already know the story, but Ron Howard has triumphed with this tale of three men almost spaced-out forever in something resembling a hairdryer.

THE RIGHT STUFF (1984)
Certification15 Our Rating
Guts and determination - that's the right stuff. This epic film follows a group of test pilots, played brilliantly by the ensemble cast, first breaking the sound barrier and then on as they switch over to being astronauts. A brilliant look at the US space programme, the Cold War and the media circus that went with it. Acclaimed and rightly so.
