Galaxy Quest. It seems silly, but I think it's probably the perfect homage film. American Beauty. I love that movie to pieces. And Muppets From Space. Gonzo is the best muppet.
I would include Planet Earth in here as well, since I am pretty much constantly watching this. If I don't have any netflix envelopes in my house, I pop in Planet Earth, or Life in the Undergrowth or Life in Cold Blood. May Sir Attenborough never stop making nature docs.
Someone said Dune the original here. I used to be addicted to that one, even after I read the books. I still every now and then mutter Piter's chant when I do stuff, like... make tea. "It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains. The stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion." Can't watch it anymore though. I think I overdosed on it.
