neutral · AI labelView post →Philip Kaufman’s superb movie was a box-office flop (grossing $21m against a $27m budget) however, it received widespread critical acclaim, was nom’d for 8 Oscars, won 4, and went on to be a huge success in the home video market. THE RIGHT STUFF (1983)
neutral · AI labelView post →If anyone is experiencing Space Fever and would like to keep their high going, I cannot recommend the film THE RIGHT STUFF enough.
positive · AI labelView post →Hard for me to express how much I love THE RIGHT STUFF. Whatever's left of my love for this country is expressed in this film. We used to be capable of anything. We used to believe in the good of things that didn't make us wealthy. I thought so, anyway. I was naive.
positive · AI labelView post →"Still, no space movie had ever won Best Picture. Not 2001: A Space Odyssey, not Close Encounters, not Apollo 13, not The Right Stuff, not Star Wars. There was a growing feeling throughout 2014 that Nolan’s magnum opus might be the one to finally go the distance." www.vulture.com/article/inte...
neutral · AI labelView post →perhaps one of the funniest interactions in a space movie/media was the interactions between LBJ, Ike, and Von Braun in The Right Stuff. like LBJ yelling at Von Braun not understanding a word he was saying was just perfect
neutral · AI labelView post →My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of THE RIGHT STUFF boxd.it/dhl6BV Across 15 years, epic presents the suspense, heartbreak, hilarity & heroism of U.S.'s 1st astronauts (& those who paved way). Not just great history, though, it's incredibly entertaining. For me, comes close to a perfect American movie. #filmsky 📽
positive · AI labelView post →Wow, I was today years old until I learned the lady in the bar in the movie The Right Stuff *was* Pancho 😱 I always loved the scene where she puts Gordon Cooper in his place. youtu.be/C70ccQ9Eo8w?...
neutral · AI labelView post →‘The Right Stuff’ at 41. Philip Kaufman’s epic isn’t just about astronauts; it’s about the hunger to push beyond limits. A film that still soars. Explore the making of this masterpiece: cinephiliabeyond.org/philip-kaufm...
neutral · AI labelView post →74/ The Right Stuff (movie, 1983) This film written and directed by Philip Kaufman is by no means sci-fi - it's a historical film - but it is a very successful approach to the history of test pilots and the Mercury program. A must-see!
positive · AI labelView post →The first Mule Design Studio was in the American Industrial Center where they filmed this bit of The Right Stuff: So, we would tell people our hallway was 7 astronauts wide.
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy 84th birthday to film composer Bill Conti. At the 1984 Academy Awards, fellow composers Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Claude Debussy and Gustav Holst couldn't be in attendance, so Conti graciously accepted the Oscar for Best Original Score for THE RIGHT STUFF on their behalf. #filmsky #moviesky #BOTD
neutral · AI labelView post →Caleb Deschanel shot WILDWOOD, his first stop motion film. The guy shot THE RIGHT STUFF and THE NATURAL. If you’re wondering how the film looks as incredible as it does, that’s why.

negative · AI labelView post →I still think"The Right Stuff" should have won the Hugo movie award in 1984. It wasn't about an imaginary future, but about creating THE Future. And, as Artemis shows, many people want to look to the Future while others want to take us back to an imaginary Past. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg4F...

Has there ever been a more comprehensive film about creation of U.S. Space program? Rewatching brilliant epic nominated for 8 Oscars & starring every actor in Hollywood! #filmsky 📽
positive · AI labelView post →Wait. What? 30 years????? How the hell did THAT happen? Excellent film. Just rewatched THE RIGHT STUFF, which is even better, and also stars Ed Harris. He kills it in both.

positive · AI labelView post →I beg to differ. Interstellar was such a bad movie. You can’t hide a poor narrative with photorealistic physics. The real thing in the shape of Apollo 13 or The Right Stuff were both way better.
positive · AI labelView post →Huh? 50 years ago we did nothing but blow up rockets. If you’re unfamiliar, watch the beginning of the movie: The Right Stuff. When build a new rocket, it blows up until you figure out what causes it to blow up. Not defending Leon and his company, but that’s how rocket science works.
neutral · AI labelView post →We hear the off-screen voice of Mission Control throughout the film via radio communication with Stone. This role was played by Ed Harris, who had played Flight Director Gene Kranz in Apollo 13, and John Glenn in The Right Stuff. 13/41

So there was Fanny and Alexander, The Right Stuff, King of Comedy, Local Hero, Rumble Fish and Silkwood. Scarface, Return of Jedi, Trading Places, Videodrome and Educating Rita. My favourite that year was The Dresser. #FilmSky

Better and more topical than I remember: technological breakthroughs, politics in science, media driving policy, existential geopolitical threats. 4 Oscars Everything #Oppenheimer should have been. Try it.
positive · AI labelView post →Oh, absolutely, but it's still a nice surprise when a movie doesn't sand the edges off someone like that. It's part of what makes First Man such a good spiritual sequel to The Right Stuff.
neutral · AI labelView post →John Dos Passos. Krazy Kat. Richard Beck’s “Homeland”. Marilynne Robinson. Romare Bearden’s “Odyssey.” I mean gotta go with “Appalachian Spring”. “The Right Stuff” (movie). Isaac Julien’s “Looking for Langston”. “The Last Tycoon”. Grant Wood but not Andrew Wyeth. Elizabeth Catlett entire oeuvre.

positive · AI labelView post →Tom Wolfe talked about this in The Right Stuff book. (the movie alluded to it as well). It's also why every airline pilot for the next fifty plus years talked like Chuck Yeager in their radio comms. (and probably still to this day, e.g. Sully when he landed on the Hudson)
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember the movie "The RIght Stuff" about the U.S. space program? Remember the expression "screwed the pooch," meaning "made a gigantic mistake?"

positive · AI labelView post →Now watching: ‘Robot Jox’, dir. Stuart Gordon, 1989. A masterclass in how to do ‘epic’ on a budget. Convincing your actors to play it straight helps – you'd think this lot were in ‘The Right Stuff’. 🎥🎬

neutral · AI labelView post →Apollo 13 was probably my favorite movie as a kid? It's incredible how all the Americana stuff is so mid compared to THE RIGHT STUFF. But obviously the bread and butter "problem solving" stuff really elevates it.
positive · AI labelView post →Happy 82nd Birthday to iconic, Oscar-nominated cinematographer and film/TV director Caleb Deschanel, famous for his work on films such as BEING THERE, THE BLACK STALLION, THE RIGHT STUFF, THE NATURAL, FLY AWAY HOME, THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, KILLER JOE, and much more. He was #BOTD in 1944.
