Yes, this is a good idea!
And I'll start off with a DVD I bought a few weeks ago.
The Right Stuff - Special Edition
8/10 - better with the real people (see Moon Shot!! for 10/10)
I've seen this movie a heap of times and it inspires me every single time. The book is even better. Starts off with the American race to break the sound barrier with Chuck Yeager on to the selection, training and flights of the Mercury 7. Disc 2 has a heap of special features including biographical data on john glenn (in particular), commentary and voice over of the movie, docos on the cast and the people they portray, old NASA footage and the usual extra scenes etc etc etc. If you like space and the space program and haven't seen this ... do. and if you have seen it, see it again. The only negative thing I thought was the way the initial astronaut selection was done in the movie. Made the politicians and newly founded NASA people look like idiots. I think it was humour but yeah. Other than that, brilliant.
