Fearing this may may have gone before but 'Name of the Rose ' by Umberto Eco must be the classic to demonstrate the power of information control

· The Lives of Others - record-keeping being a staple of an effective fascist regime...
· Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade - who had the notebook? Did they check it out? Or update the location??
· Lord of the Rings: which one?? - Gandalf flicking through the archives of Minas Tirith (with I might add a naked flame and a lot of dust). A good search engine would have found the answer.
· Sahara - Penelope Cruz uses events to find dates (not the other way around) - innovative use of metadata
· Memento - Guy Pierce keeps the record of his life on his own body
Yay Friday afternoon!

Subject: RM in cinema.
Again, apologies for cross-posting.
Further to my recent enquiry on this list about records management training videos, I am trying now to think of films or television programmes that portray the practice or effects of record keeping (good or bad). I have seen a number of espionage/political thriller films like this, but can't remember any of the titles.
I've seen this topic discussed on this list before, so I apologise for returning to the subject again.
Can anyone recommend to me, perhaps off list, any films that might illustrate records management fundamentals?
Thanks in advance,
James Lowry.
