Have you ever looked up in the sky and felt like the stars are going to fall on your head? Or perhaps you've tried Google Earth VR like I did and panicked at the sight of the Sun.

Whatever the case, fear of space is a real thing, and it happens to combine the worst parts of megalophobia (fear of big things) and thalassophobia (fear of deep water) - the unknown, the all powerful. And if there is one film that captures that horror the best, it's Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.
