The Martian. I don’t know of any other movie that better celebrates the uniquely human ability to overcome challenges through innovation and persistence. That movie gets me charged up.

For what it’s worth I would say the book is even stronger at it.

The movie watered down Watney’s technical know how quite a bit. That is to say if you liked the movie, you’ll love the book.

Reminded me a lot of Apollo 13, which I feel similarly captures that, and really happened!
Yes, I love this one. Great movie.
