I watched this back in 7th grade or 8th grade and I'm in college now. Loved the movie more watching it now than I did back then even though I enjoyed it back then
@113bieberfever im not really sure why i commented a long time ago what did i write and i know that i was with my friend that loves the movie so i wanted to make him mad
Just watched this movie for 1st time and it made me smile, laugh, gave me tingles, and tears were shed. truly AMAZING!!! if i could change anything, i'd like the romance between Homer and the girl that's briefly touched upon, to have a little more limelight.
I am currently reading Rocket Boys' by Homer Hickam and i wish they would have made the movie more accurate to the book. There are some really crazy stuff in the book. Nonetheless, i love this movie soo much it made me want to read the book :).
@Tyrannobenji101 you mean that October Sky is an anagram of the words Rocket boys.. You are correct :) i think that just happens to be coincidental and not so much done on purpose.
I have to read this for school by the first day. school starts in 4 days :/ the book is SO boring. so I'm just gonna watch the movie. (the book is called Rocket Boys)
it was a really good movie i was like 10 i am 24 now. when it came out watched it over and over it is what inspired me for a thirst of knowledge in life and loving to learn.
we watched this in our 5th grade class cuz were building rockets and were gonna launch them...this movie has made me want to become a rocket scientist :)
We just built rockets in science class and my teachers making us watch this movie everyone thought it was stupid in the beginning but the second day we watched even more... let me tell you everyone went out the room talking about how amazing that movie was <3(: ILOVEIT(:
"It sure was exciting watching your rockets go up" !..................WEEEYEELLL. ( The way that mrs. mccormick from fisher middle school used to say it.
I saw this in science class and I was like this movie is amazing.... Im gonna marry Homer and then I found out it was Jake Gylenhaall and I was like o_O
I love this movie! I cried thro the whole movie. In the beginning because it was so sad and in the end because it was so happy. I hope my dreams comes true too. I want to be an actress!!!
I watched this in my math class in high school a few years ago and loved it. However, I completely forgot about it (thanks, life!) until last week, when it came on TV. So glad I found it again. I love it.
It seems like everyone back then was motivated and had pride, now everyone from my generation is lazy and always bitching about nothing. What happened to the US, where is our pride and or ambition. Atleast some of us still have it.
I will never tire of this movie. I don't think I can convey how much this motivates me with college. This is one of those movies you can't not feel good after watching.
@Adarious yay and guess what, it motivated me to major in Aerospace Engineering. Something I am really nervous about but its all good.... not until i get into the main thing but for now, its scary
They were lucky since during the time they did this, there many if any at all against trying to launch a rocket as high as you can...if someone tried this and launched one farther than anything ever seen today you'd probably be arrested and have your technology forcibly taken from you...that or you'd be offered a job...
Very insperational film, everybody was in town included Homer's father was doubting him of being a rocket scientist and STILL succeded. I think every teenager should watch this film as it sets a perfect example of what you should do for a dream. This is probably the best movie I have ever seen. Homer Hickam FTW.
I watched this in school. One of the best movies ever.
