One of the choices was "No, I have never seen a movie" or something like that. I'm just curious, who put that as an answer and why don't you watch movies? I find it weird. (I'm not calling you wierd or anything, just the whole movie thing);)

every movie with someone driving a car or opening a door or flying an airplane or TELLING TIME uses math. im just saying all movies have SOME math in them. you just have to look for it, which u dont want to cause youll miss something in the movie.

All great movies, though Apollo 13 is still my favorite.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. Still, October Sky ranks very close to it, in my opinion.

When we're thinking of movies with math in them, do they have to be more or less based on reality? Or....could they be more of the science fiction persuasion?

I personally think that if they're not "true stories" they should be at least grounded in reality.

However, I think that it could also be said that The Matrix is a math (or really, programming) related movie in the sci-fi genre. I didn't list it here because it can hardly be considered reality. Or can it...

Wow, it looks like there's a lot of movies about math from all these posts. Strange that I never realized that...
