Star Trek Into Darkness 2013
Pretty much what you would expect from a summer blockbuster: 2 hours of crisis after crisis, visual effects spectacle, fairly predictable plot, lots of fun. Before you dismiss it as so much popcorn fluff, I think there is a deeper aspect to this movie, as outlined in the following article [beware spoilers]:

Definitely enjoyable. I liked it better than the first. Worth seeing at the theatre (there are even some nice and subtle 3D effects too!)

The Right Stuff 1983
What an amazing, sweeping view of the transition from flight jock to astronaut. I really like the angle. The mixing of historical footage was done very well, considering the date of this film. Glenn's orbit would bring out the wonder of space from inside anyone.
