NASA says this is the most realistic sci-fi movie ever, but you probably missed it

In 2011, NASA scientists met at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California and came up with a list of the seven best (and worst) sci-fi films ever made. "Best" doesn't necessarily mean "most realistic," and there are a couple of movies on their list — like 1951's The Day The Earth Stood Still — that aren't especially scientifically rigorous. But according to contemporaneous reports from the likes of NPR, the scientists were trying to nudge Hollywood producers towards making the science in their movies more plausible, so it was a factor.
