The DVD of Apollo 13 includes a very nice "making of" documentary. I was amazed at how much trouble they went through to make it accurate. Of course, they played up the drama a bit in some places, but the only major change they made to the story was a flare-up of tempers between the astronauts. They said in the documentary that it didn't happen that way in reality, but they wanted some way to show how the tension was getting to them.

It's a great movie, the more so for it's accuracy. What other movie has actually filmed it's actors in real free-fall? (It was robbed of a well-deserved special effects oscar by that stupid pig movie "Babe". [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_evil.gif[/img] Grrr!
