From Tanya Roberts' high-heeled seismologist in "A View to a Kill" to the pyroclastics of "Dante's Peak", geology and geologists have found a special place in the movies. Here are some of my favourites.
I grew up in the western US where I caught the geology bug. After grad school on the east coast and post-docs in California and Australia, I got lucky and landed a university position in New Zealand. I miss baseball.

they are low resolution copies of film posters, they contribute to the articles significantly, they do not limit the copyright owner's ability to sell copies of the films in any way, and no free equivalents are readily available at this time.
