I would totally never admit (especially here) if I saw such a movie, and found their reasoning plausable enough to believe it... for a while.

I believed Chariots of the Gods and had trouble sleeping because I was afraid that alien mummies would land in the back yard.  In my defense, I was 5.  I blame my father, although more than made up for it for taking me to the Smithsonian and similar places many, many times (I lived in Baltimore so it wasn't that far).

A good documentary I saw recently was "Last Man on the Moon" which centers around Gene Cernan's experiences in the Gemini and Apollo programs.

Additionally I'd recommend "For All Mankind" about the Apollo program and "To Mars By A Bomb" that reveals a lot of interesting information about the abandoned Project Orion.

Another one that is pretty good is "Red Star in Orbit" about the soviet space program, based on James Oberg's book.
