Can anyone think of a movie or scene in a movie that exemplifies
complexity science themes, such as many interacting parts with
emergent patterns, non-linear behaviors, self organizing, etc.
Any thoughts?

Sliding Doors that Gwenyth Paltrow movie comes to mind. It is about
the completely different life that would have occurred if she had not
missed the train. It suggests non-linearity.

Pretty much any DVD of a Grateful Dead show...

Clockwise with John Cleese.
If I recall correctly a small change in initial conditions leads to
unintentional results.

I'm not sure if these meet your criteria of a movie, but there are countless
films of bicycle road races - helicopter sweeps show pelotons in all their
magnificent complexity. The rotational patterns which self-organize are the
most striking.

Good news: the new Mexico Community Foundation donation page is
working again for Santa Fe Complex. Here is the link: http://www.nmcf.org/?page_id=312
. Scroll to the bottom of the page for Santa Fe Complex. It's an open
link (meaning there are no suggested donation amounts) so please
One of the best films that illustrates the prinicples of complexity and chaos
theory (butterfly effect) is Babel starring Kate Blanchet and Brad the
Pitt.

Complexity is one of the premises behind the book Jurassic
Run Lola Run. Wikipedia has a summary.

Koyanisquaatsi. Some fascinating shots of crowds of people, traffic etc. The
score (Philip Glass) is also an interesting example of emergence: its an
apparently simple pattern (arpeggio after arpeggio in a pretty
straightforward chord progression) but it ends up far more sonically
engaging than it
This is a good one. Attractors.. :-)

Local Friammers,
It is looking like St. Johns is closed, this friday. So, we thought we would
have FRIAM at the Complex, for a change. Give those of you who have not seen
the sfComplex yet a chance to look it over. I will make a huge pot of coffee.
All those people whom I have discouraged
For those of us visually inclined, here's a map too:
