Following Karen Harris' excellent Big #MathsJam talk about maths in film, I thought some people might be interested in this "Maths in Movies" list I've started to curate on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/yzCf6
Any further recommendations would be very enthusiastically received, especially if they were accompanied by a brief synopsis and critique.
@TeaKayB The latest one by Chen sicheng: Decoded
@dingc
Added, thank you!
@TeaKayB have a look at Darren Aronofsky's Pi.

Are you interested in documentaries as well? There are a few I could suggest but not sure if they'd be relevant.
@MadeleineS
Thanks, added!
Potentially interested in documentaries if they've been released as a movie. Best bet would be to search for it on Letterboxd, as if it's not there I can't add it anyway!
@TeaKayB The Erdos doc, N is a Number, was certainly available for cinema screenings in 2009 when I ran a Maths in the Movies season at Filmhouse Edinburgh for ICMS. Here's a link to George Csicery, the director, on Letterboxd. He's covered several mathematical subjects over the years.

@TeaKayB Finally remembered the name of the other maths documentary maker, Ekaterina Eremenko and yes, she is on Letterboxd.

@MadeleineS
Great, thanks!
@TeaKayB here's another, quite different from Pi. Stand and Deliver is about a maths teacher in a pretty tough school getting an unpromising class through calculus exams.

@MadeleineS
Hmm, there are a few movies by that name on Letterboxd. Do you know the year it was released, or the name of the director?
@TeaKayB Directed by Ramón Menéndez and released in 1988 as per the IMDB link above.
I'd not heard of Letterboxd until I saw your post this morning. I need to explore it.
@TeaKayB Travelling Salesman might be one to add https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1801123/?ref_=ext_shr
