just watched again w/ my family. thank you Homer, Linda, and Chrisbear08 for the post. I met Mr. Hickam after he wrote his book "we are not afraid" he autographed the inside page for me. What an interesting man.

[Mohmmed555]

Is a story of struggle for achievement and excellence and I liked the movie a lot...

from Argentina, great life story and a relly good example of life

[scottyrock88]

I watched the movie again,Im a Rocketboy and I got my Autographed book today in the mail from Homer,Homer goes by his friends house every couple of weeks and signs books,the guy lives in Alabama,if you google it,the guy will come up and it gives his addy and phone number. Homer personally sined to me : To a fellow Rocketboy keep aiming high and I brag about it to all my friends! So if you want a personally autographed book call his friend in Alabama!

This movie inspired me to be a better father to my two sons after we all saw it at the movies. I still watch it frequently, moreso now that my younger son died a year ago. I am getting married in 4 weeks and will be using the music from the movie for our entry and a candle-lighting ceremony for my departed boy.

This movie and music has affected me greatly. This, I guess, is the highest compliment one can give to art.

[chrisbear08]

Thank You. I am so sorry to hear about your younger son. This is an excelent movie and still my favourite. Congrats on getting married in 4 weeks. Hope it works out :D

[indiony1]

A fitting tribute to ingenuity and perseverance.

[mmmail1969]

This is very well done and very interesting! A touching ending, good work.

[StaviFilms]

its the theme song of the movie. if you go onto limewire or google and search up October Sky Theme Song, you should find it. BTW its 4:22 minutes if you wanted to narrow your choices

[StaviFilms]
