Apollo 13 is the most accurate space movie ever made. It could have been boring under some directors, but it turned out to be epic. If you can find the commentary track with the real Jim and Marilyn Lovell, it's well worth listening to.
Galaxy Quest is technically a parody of Star Trek (The Original Series), but even Trekkies agree that it belongs on the official list of the best Star Trek movies. It's not just hilarious; it also has a well-constructed plot.
Good choices and have both in my movie library actually believe that Apollo 13 was best picture that year because many knew the outcome before watching it yet be transfixed by it anyway, that is good movie making!
