Of Stars and Men (1961)
one of the best 'documentaries' i have ever seen

I first viewed Of Stars and Men at the University of Denver Observatory in 1968 and have viewed it scores of times since then. I am amazed in reading discoveries of new planets in 2012 and what they mean to cosmology that almost all of these developments were predicted in Of Stars and Men. It has truly been one of the best movies in my life. The story line by Prof. Shapley remains amazing 50 years later, and is actually ahead of most astronomy and philosophy of science documentaries of today. The Hubley art and animation remains, to me, astoundingly beautiful. The musical sound track also one of the best. There is more physics, astronomy, cosmology, and reflection on life in this 55 minute film than one could hope for.
