"Wagging the Moondoggie" by Dave McGowan - www.centerforaninformedamerica.com/moondoggie/
Absolutley the definitive writing from the "we didn't go to the moon" point of view. I'm not saying he proves it, but he had me convinced for awhile. Dave is a smart guy and a good writer and there is a lot of good stuff on his website. This is a fun series of articles which might convince you that we did not go to the moon. If that happens to you, then you might want to check out this lengthy discussion from the old BAUT forum in 2009, which is now archived at cosmoquest.org. It does eventually get around to addressing many of the issues discussed. (Though just because they may seem to debunk some of his assertions, that doesn't mean he may not be on to something. There still certainly seems to something fishy about all this).

Now I'm actually recommending this film, as opposed to everything else on this page, which I suggest don't waste your time on. This is a murky subject and there's a lot of wackiness about it, but there still seems to be something fishy about the whole moon landings story. This film puts forth the idea that Stanley Kubrick was hired by the US government to make fake films of the Apollo moon landings (which were done over the same period of time that he filmed 2001: A Space Odyssey). Does not say that the moon landings were fake, just that the films we saw were faked. The main evidence for this is the presence of anomalies in the videos and photos which indicate the use of 3M Scotchlite screens used to project background images. Further goes on to show that Kubrick's film The Shining contains many clues about this, apparently revealing the Apollo film faking in a very careful coded way. Very interesting. (and apparently more on the way in future parts) NOTE: I guess I haven't gotten around to listing any of Hoagland's wacky stuff here yet, but one of his videos is all about how there are "glass cities" (or the remains of such) all over the moon. He bases this on the very same photographic anomalies that Weidner is attributing to the Scotchlite screens.

Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronauts_Gone_Wild
Official Site: www.moonmovie.com
The director tracks down all the moon walking astronauts and tries to make them swear on the bible that they walked on the moon. Gets a bit trashy, Buzz punches Bart in the face. Interesting though.

Did We Go? (2000 - 60min) Aron Ranen
Official Site: www.moonhoax.com
(not listed at IMDB or Amazon, Netflix has this)
Doesn't really prove or disprove the moon landings, but digs up lots of crazy stuff, including Nazi connections, and the KKK at NASA. Seems to conclude after talking to Buzz Aldrin and Gene Cernan that the moon landings were real. At some point in the film Ranen stated "at this point right now I'm about 75% believing we went". But on July 20, 2009 Ranen appeared on Geraldo at Large to argue that we did not go to the moon.

DVDs - "Debunkers"


Dark Side of the Moon (2002) William Karel
(also known as Operation Lune)
Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Side_of_the_Moon_(documentary)
IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt0344160
I guess this would be called a mockumentary. It kind of pretends to be an expose of the Apollo 11 video being faked by Stanley Kubrick but quickly gets wacky enough to reveal that they are just making fun of the hoaxers. Features "interviews" with Donald Rumsfeld, Henry Kissinger, Alexander Haig, Buzz Aldrin, and more. Check the bloopers in the closing credits. Very odd film. Doesn't seem to be available for purchase. Can be seen on googlevideo, maybe on youtube, torrents are around. A site with lots of commentary on this film (lots of links on this page):

DVDs - Some Moon-Related Mainstream Feature Films


Capricorn One (1977) Peter Hyams
IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt0077294
Amazon: www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/0784011540
Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capricorn_One
Starring Elliot Gould, James Brolin, O.J. Simpson, Brenda Vaccaro, Sam Waterston, Telly Savalas, Hal Holbrook, Karen Black. NASA fakes a mission to Mars.

Capricorn Two (2010)
IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt1242608
Remake/(sequel?) of 1977 film. Should be interesting. Checking links in 2015, I find this IMDB.com link no longer working and I can find no mention of a remake, so probably this was cancelled. The IMDB page was up in 2009 and Irish director John Moore was to direct the film.

Apollo 13 (1995 - 140min) Ron Howard
IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt0112384
Amazon: www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/0783225733
Starring Tom Hanks. Apollo 13 was the mission that did not make it to the moon.

The Right Stuff (1983) Philip Kaufman
IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt0086197
Based on Tom Wolfe's book of the same name. Covers early years of the space program through the Mercury missions of the early 60's.

2001: A Space Odyssey Stanley Kubrick

Moon Duncan Jones
Excellent sci-fi - Sam Rockwell plays a moonworker all alone on the moon.

Woman in the Moon (1929 - 169min) Fritz Lang
German Title: Die Frau im Mond
IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt0019901
Amazon: www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B00064AEXI
Very prescient classic silent sci-fi. Lang consulted with German rocket scientists. Supposedly the idea of counting down to zero comes from this film. 2004 Kino DVD release restores to full length. English version had been badly edited in 1930 to 80 minutes.

Operation Avalanche (2015) Matt Johnson
IMDB: www.imdb.com/title/tt3776826
Upcoming 2015 thriller about the CIA's involvement in the space race.

OK - since you made it to the bottom of the page, you get a special treat. I transcribed a few pages from the first volume of the Foxfire series, which is part of an interview with an old Arkansas hillbilly who gives his opinion on the moon landings. A friend of mine told me about this. (thanks Marcus) Just for fun....Check it out here.
