good clean movie that needs to be shown again

I enjoyed the movie as its a world we can "dream" of with a smile. someday we will have a similar reality of the aspect of "living" in space. I used to have a fuzzy tape of it when it aired and now that tape gotten destroyed. it would be great to see it again and "dream"
