The Right Stuff on Sundance HD

It's on right now (started 15 minutes ago, just missed the beginning), and plays again (4 hours, sadly with commercials) on January 12th, early morning. I've never seen it (crazy, I know!) so I've set it up to record the second showing and will protect it from deletion on my DVR.

Just came out in November in Bluray as well. Special features was good.

Saw it in the theater opening night when I was a kid. Long movie.

It's on my TV right now. I've lost count how many times I've watched it.

Ok, that's going on my BluRay list!

There is some great footage of rocket tests (failures) in this film. The last one made me laugh out loud.

Just remember to pee BEFORE watching the first Mercury launch scene.

Fabulous movie.

In my head I heard "Command Destruct" just before each of those came to grief. And that last one is funny.

True!

Good flick. Some errors (it is Hollywood, after all), but still fun. Especially for those of us old enough to remember the early days of the space program. Yeager and Glamorous Glennis was a little before my time, however.

I can't fathom watching "The Right Stuff" with commercials. How long does it take, 6 1/2 hours? Especially towards the end where they give you seven minutes of movie for every ten minutes of advertisement.
