The Dark Crystal (1982)!
(Crystallography is voodoo, voodoo is magic, magic is fantasy, therefore
fantasy is science, and this movie involves science. Ha!)
It tells you what awful consequences arise if you break a crystal.

The documentary "Naturally Obsessed: The Making of a Scientist"
is definitely a must-see film. It captures the story of life and
science in a crystallography lab, that of Dr. Larry Shapiro at Columbia
University, and follows the graduate students journey of fortune
and misfortune that crystallographers know so well. Not to sound too sappy
about it, but it is almost like a "coming of age" story for graduate
students....

Hi Harry-
X-ray crystallography played an integral part in discoveries made in Michael
Crichton's "Andromeda Strain". Mainly it was used to determine the elemental
composition and arrangement of the "capsid" or shell that the "foreign"
organism was found within.
Best-

Hi
Not a question about films for recording X-rays on, but a question about
films about X-rays, Crystallography and related subjects!
I was wondering what ccp4bbers favourite movies involving real science,
especially crystallography might be? If they're from Hollywood, though, I'd
guess it should be "favorite"...
I'm a little tired, but the only one I can think of at the moment is
actually based on results from fibre diffraction - "Life Story", with Jeff
Goldblum. There must be others, though.
