Movies that feature physics concepts

[Frabjous]

I was reading Shape and Flow: The Fluid Dynamics of Drag by Shapiro and wanted to see the movies described by the book.

There is a whole series of fluid dynamics movies at

Of course, they pale in comparison to my favorite educational movie which is about magnets

It was directed by a famous documentarian

Almost anything from the iBiology youtube channel.

At the risk of dating myself, my favorite science series include "Cosmos" written and presented by the late Carl Sagan and certain episodes of "Nova" created by WGBH Boston; both broadcast via Public Broadcasting System (PBS) in the USA.

How about biographies of great scientists?
There most be a lot of them, some probably explain concepts as well as doing the human interest angle.
I can't remember any off the top of my head, but when I was a kid I read a lot of books like that.
I particularly remember reading about Pasture. It was informative and inspirational.
PBS probably has a lot of Nova shows like this.
