I'm setting up a monthly movie viewing for my fellow designers at work and I need a list of "must see" movies for creatives types.
They should be safe for workplace viewing. I know of the usual suspects:
Art and Copy
Helvetica
ObjectifiedAny help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

A person cannot be an adjective. It's unpossible.
- but an adjective can also be a nounukit
- No it can't. Not in this case. A person is not a "creative." A person can BE creative.gramme
- I hate that term so much.gramme
- Well, language can be anything it evolves into, can't it?:) I'm pretty sure creative (noun) is in the dictionaryukit
- gramme smash! I've seen you mention this before. I see your point. like saying I'm an artistic.Hombre_Lobo

- Yes, language can, does, and should evolve. But when nouns are adjectives and nouns are verbs, we might as well start all over again.gramme
- over again.gramme

Looks like there really aren't any movies about graphic design other than Helvetica and the usual suspects...pretty sad:)

Objectified was dumb.
The questions to the designers were all over the place. The maker of that movie squandered huge opportunities to get some real insight from some top designers - instead he settled for meandering delusions of grandeur from Paola Antonelli, vapid "we are brothers and work together" tripe from the Bouroullec brothers, and "we don't waste metal" minutiae from Jonathan Ive. All of these people have wonderful, wonderful things to say about design, I'm sure, but the interviewer botched it big time - these are not the things I want to hear from these design greats.
