One realistic movie that immediately came to my mind was “
2001” [
itunes.com,
itunes.de], which was largely hard sci-fi. Another one is “
Minority Report
” [
amazon.com,
amazon.de] for whose technology Spielberg consulted researchers. Both movies contain fantastic elements that probably turned NASA off and show how difficult such lists are to make. Also amusing that NASA files “What the bleep” under sci-fi. See their choices below.

That list is hardly involves hard science fiction(stories based on solid scientific facts) movies except for Contact. It is a good list for best sci-fi movies but not what you expect when you hear "NASA" and "most realistic" I mean how can you determine scientific realism in a movie like Metropolis or The Thing from Another World. I would expect to see 2001 A Space Oddysey in this list, where they did not use any sound effect in outer space scenes, created space shuttles that use rotation movement to simulate gravity, book even predicted artificial satelites.
