Films about math: a question about math education and motivation for learning math I'm interested in movies about or related with mathematics or physics, I mean not documentaries which I also consider movies, but artistic or mainstream films about math. Now I have the following in mind:


*

*Aronofsky Pi

*Madden Proof

*Van Sant Good Will Hunting

*Mervyn LeRoy Madame Curie
I think those kinds of movies are inspirational stuff; I mean for kids to get interested in the power of modern mathematics. For example, I think a realistic-fiction movie about Perelman or Feynman would be very interesting and inspirational for everyone.
What stories you remind and what scientific stories would you like to see in a film?
Personally, I would like to see Grothendieck, Perelman, Claude Shannon, Janos von Neumann or Gödel. I totally think the question belongs here, is a question about math trough inspirational stuff that can rely on math education.

Fermat's Room (La habitación de Fermat) is a Spanish thiller with a sequence of mathematical puzzles which need to be solved so the characters are not squashed.
