Galaxy Quest is another sentimental favorite.  I have seen it again and again with the children, we all love this sweet and goofy movie.

Aside from the amazing line up of actors, (I <3 Sigourney Weaver) Galaxy Quest has a funny and heart warming story.  Tim Allen plays the over the hill hero perfectly.  Will the broken team come together against all odds?

The bad guy is definitely bad and pretty creepy looking.  The make up and special effects are fantastic.

Sam Rockwell is a comedy surprise, he almost steals the show with this clever performance.

Here are a few of the movie's tag lines:

• Never give up, never surrender!
• The show has been cancelled... but the adventure is just beginning.
• A comedy of galactic proportions.
• By Grabthar's Hammer, by the sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged.
• All systems are functioning Commander.
• Pedal to the metal, Commander.
• Are we there yet?

Every space comedy should have a funny nerd, this one has Justin Long.
