OK, so X-15 isn't the best of Hollywood, but it IS the 2nd best X-Planes movie ever (second to Right Stuff, but better than Space Cowboys).

Call it a docu-drama, call it campy, call it naive, whatever. This is a great Saturday afternoon movie. It's a blast to see MTM and Charlie Bronson together. Those of us with a fascination with historic aircraft love the authentic footage. Hey, the movie even got a mention in Milt Thompson's Book "At the Edge of Space: The X-15 Flight Program".

So, do your best to find a copy, forget Soviet comparisons, check your mind at the door and enjoy X-15!
