In one of Moby's recent music videos ('Sunday', I think), some aliens make a visit to Earth.
Along their way, they pass by some asteroids. Of course the asteroids are all perfectly visible, and appear less than a mile apart from each other. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]

The movie that mentions an asteroid belt and then shows not an incredible dense populated "asteroid belt" has still to be made.

Yeah, in typical movie and TV SF, asteroid belts are thick enough to hold your pants up... [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

2001

^ Yep, I can't remember if in the finished book or not if they talk about the belt but in one of the bits in The Lost Worlds of 2001 (that is such an interesting book) they make a special note of how they were going to be close enough to one of the asteroids to use their laser on it for sampling. -Colt

Hmmm, I just saw 2001 (only video ops: ) and when Bowman goes onto his first EVA, there is an outside shot of Discovery. Two big tumbling rocks fly by the camera in close succession... So even 2001 fails somewhat in this. And no, it wasn't an asteroid with a moon.
