Yeah, this one is quite similar to Sunshine.

EDIT TO ADD: Not in plot, but both kinda "feel" the same, if you know what I mean.

Re: SOS... what movies are as awesome as MOON and SUNSHINE?
Moon was great!!

Event Horizon and Dark City ( Matrix is Dark City dumbed down for the masses), the 13th Floor is pretty cool too.

Whatever you do stay away from Solaris, a bigger pile of steaming crap has never been filmed. This movie commits the unforgivable sin of being BORING!!!

Definitely one that makes you think. Not much on the cinematography or action, but this is a dialogue intensive movie that delivers.

Read a book called " a stranger in a strange land" by Robert A. Heinlein.

If you´ve got some imagination reading is better than any movie.

Re: SOS... what movies are as awesome as MOON and SUNSHINE?
i enjoyed lifeforce. thats one a lot of people don't know about but should. kind of horror/sci fi.

While investigating Halley's Comet, the crew of the space shuttle Churchill finds a 150-mile long spaceship hidden in the corona of the comet. Upon entering the alien spacecraft, the crew finds hundreds of dead and shrivelled bat-like creatures and three naked humanoid bodies (two male and one female) in suspended animation within glass coffin-like containers. The crew recovers the three aliens and begins the return trip to Earth.

Very good film, watched it a few times but its not so easy to get by in your local dvd shops. Had to order it over the internet.
I have flaws, I was just as surprised as you when I found out!

Event horizon is definatly worth a watch. Tho I myself was totally creeped out by that one.
But would defo watch it again.

Also 12 monkeys ... classic.

Cube, also brilliant but are in fact three movies, Cube, Hypercube and Cube Zero (I think, not sure about the last one)
