I’m with you- The Right Stuff. It had its corny moments, but ALL of the stuff about Chuck Yeager was great! Best pilot of them all- and he didn’t qualify!

Yup! I love the scene at the end when he ejects from the 104 and he’s walking away from the wreckage. Nearly killed himself.

It's artistically done, a damned rare thing now -and in the 80s. The Sally Rand fan dance / NF-104A sequence is just about perfect.
It's a pity that John Glenn's presidential primary bid coincided with the film and detracted from it.
