"Explorers" from 1985.

Three young friends are drawn into a space fantasy adventure. Ben Crandall (Ethan Hawke) is a young visionary who dreams of space travel while watching late-night monster movies, poring over comic books, and playing Galaga in the confines of his bedroom.

One night he has a vivid dream of flying over a space-like circuit board and shares his visions with his best friend Wolfgang (River Phoenix, his first movie), a young scientific genius who is able to translate his dreams into a complex circuit board that actually works.

With the help of their new friend Darren (Jason Presson), they create a homemade spacecraft and embark on a secret adventure to another galaxy where they find that things are not always as different as they seem.

Watch this with your girlfriend, wife, and/or kids and I bet everybody will enjoy it, including you. Hard to find goodies like that anymore!

Any of the early Disney (the old Kurt Russell and Jodie Foster films come to mind) movies before they started to totally suck arse.
