If you haven't seen the new J.Edgar movie, there's an extensive scene in
the Library of Congress,
with J.Edgar (DiCaprio) proudly claiming ownership of the invention of
the LC system of classification, and demonstrating how
the card catalogue works, in all of its efficiency!

The list Gary posted is terrific.
One of my favorites is Storm Center with Bette Davis as the public library
librarian who refuses to remove a book on communism from the collection.
Never released on commercial DVD, but available as a MOD DVD from
http://www.screenarchives.com/
I'm also fond of the exchange with James Caan in Rollerball:
"So this is not really a library, and you're not really a librarian."
"Oh, no, sir. I'm only a clerk."

How about movies with librarian archetypes.
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
