Gravity
In the 1960s women were only permitted to be astronauts so they could prepare their male counterpart's food tubes.
Fortunately, times have changed, and the lady astronaut in this thriller can now prepare tubeless meals.
With debris from a damaged satellite fast approaching, the space-walking occupants of the Explorer - Lt. Kowalski (George Clooney) and Dr. Stone (Sandra Bullock) - prepare for impact.
Unfortunately, Stone is jettisoned from the shuttle during the high-speed shower and set adrift in space with little oxygen, and even less of a chance of surviving.
Her only hope lies in reaching a Chinese space station, by way of a Russian module.
One of the most mind-blowing movies about space, what Gravity lacks in character development and overall story, it makes up for in awe-inspiring scenery and nerve-racking tension.
Furthermore, astronauts don't typically take space-walks unless Chris Hadfield is strumming one of his folksy tunes again.
