Every year the world’s cinema adds something to the shelf where feature films about scientists are kept. It might be about time to conduct a study “The image of scientist in popular culture”. The image should be a flattering one: scientists in movies are either villains, heroes, or geniuses.

To mark the World Science Day we made a short list of movies where scientists are portrayed more or less realistically.
