Certain movies simply must be seen on the big screen. When people say that, they're usually referring to a spectacle, a widescreen epic like Lawrence of Arabia or 2001: A Space Odyssey.. That's certainly the case with The Right Stuff, a terrific 1983 look at the U.S. space race and the Mercury astronauts at the heart of it. Cutting edge special effects, brilliant acting, the desire to capture America at a particular point in time -- The Right Stuff is a grand film that deserves the silver screen.
