'Hidden Figures' is on par with 'The Right Stuff', only dealing with race and gender issues. I'm not sure I can be objective due to the subject: Math.

I know math turns off a lot of people in just the way it gets me excited.

I never got into advanced math beyond calculus, but I am always impressed by anyone who has. Especially those who were the first to discover new theorems and applications as opposed to just applying known formulas to fairly simple problems.
