Moon
Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is stationed, alone, on the Moon. Nearing the end of his multi-year contract to man a largely automated mining facility, he works as a glorified handyman, wanders the base's empty hallways, watches videos of his wife and daughter back on Earth, and talks with the base's kinda-sweet, kinda-creepy computer (voiced by Kevin Spacey). Rockwell's Sam is a likeable, blue-collar guy with a lonely, shitty job, and director Duncan Jones gracefully captures the guy's weary isolation. You feel for Sam—which makes it all the more messed up when things start to get weird.
