Well, let's define "space" shall we? I think a "space movie" has to occur, for the most part, somewhere without air in which the majority of the action occurs in an environment not bounded by any planet. Otherwise we're just talking science fiction. "Star Wars" would likely count as a "space movie", as would any Star Trek other than Into Darkness. However, Prometheus happens mostly on another planet, as does Forbidden Planet, as does Robinson Crusoe on Mars. By this definition, "Outland" is shaky... but as the majority of the action is driven by remoteness (it's set in the near future on Ganymede), low gravity and an utter lack of atmosphere, it's closer to being a "space movie" than Eolomea or, say, Screamers.
