Apollo 13. A true story as good as any fiction.

Stunning movie. The launch scene is what I show people to help them "get" staging and why's it's done intuitively - as well as the tyranny of the rocket equation. If you listen to the actual director's loop, everyone is actually very cool and collected during the early engine 5 cutoff, but overall I think it's an excellent portrayal.
