  • @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 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.

  • can you sign this for me. H-O-M...

  • I <3 this movie! BEST MOVIE EVER!

  • ALL I CAN SAY IS: JAKE, JAKE, JAKE, AND SOMEMORE JAKE.

  • Jake Gyllenhaal was 18 when this came out.

  • 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.

  • @skatepunkzero Hell yeah!!!!

  • great movie! we just finished watching it in science class. I loved it.

  • @DaViDcOokRoX115 me to lolz

  • OCTOBER SKY = ROCKET BOYS  :)

  • I can't believe I still love this movie so much. its been 10 years! i was just 10 when I watched this movie

  • BEST MOVIE REGARDING FUTURE GOALS AND DREAMS......not to mention Jake Gyllenhal is so cute in this movie lol

  • 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 I agree SO MUCH! I just applied to college yesterday and this was one of those movies that made me not be discouraged no matter what....

  • @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

  • great movie / gran película

  • it takes balls to stand up for your parents

  • I watched it two minutes ago

  • 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...

  • Great movieee

  • is tht jake jillenhall

  • @TDIReloaded gyllenhaal yes.

  • @aNoodleThing OK I thought it was. just finished the movie 2day in science. gr8t movie

  • 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.
