It's not sci-fi though. At all.

To tell the truth, this was the first time I sat through the entire 3+ hour monster, as I'd always found its direction rather wonky. Still do. It's bloated and indulgent, with comedy that misfires more often than it amuses, but there are some very good elements in it nonetheless. Chuck Yaeger's story is the real heart of the film despite essentially being a parallel subplot, and the editing is often a delight.

The first movie that's been voted both by Ebert and Siskel as their yearly #1 on their review program

So many negative comments on this one. Loved this movie. Embodies the spirit of adventure in America. Narrated by the great Levon Helm.

If this ils the film people are outraged didn't win the Oscar in 83' then 83' was a horrible year for film.

The subject is fascinating, the move is decent. It gets better towards the end.

Term of Endearment isn't perfect, but I too prefer it to The Right Stuff, which is an o.k. movie but not hat special. I'd say about a 7..... Did enjoy it, but not great.
