One movie I never tire of watching is Galaxy Quest. I am not sure if it was ever a hit or well-known, but I happened to accidentally stumble upon it on late-night tv years ago and I fell in love with it. I have watched it countless times since and enjoy it just as much every time. It appeared on Swedish Netflix last month. I watched it immediately and fell in love with it all over again.
I always love Alan Rickman but he is extra brilliant in this movie. It describes low-rent sci-fi perfectly, it honours the fans of such shows, and it has redemption arcs, humour, a love story, and actors such as Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman and the brilliant Enrico Colantoni. It is a parody of Star Trek but also turns into a Star Trek tribute. And the fans save the day!
This is what Star Trek actors had to say about it (taken from Wikipedia)
