a Dutch film by Peter Delpeut called " Felice Felice" of a favorite 19th century British/Italian photograper of mine , Felice Beato.
it deals with Beato's time in Japan and his search for his lost japanese wife.

The Notorious Bettie Page has lots of good photo stuff.

I'm also a big fan of the already-mentioned Public Eye.
Dogtown and Z Boys is made almost entirely from Super 8 movie film and 35mm stills. Awesome movie if you were into skating or surfing in the 70s/80s.

Actually a TV drama on the BBC, Shooting The Past is amazing. The whole plot is based around a photography archive and photographs. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Thank you Aizan. It's been bugging me for a while. I had wrongly imagined it to be a Zorki or some other FSU (or SU in this case) LTM.

I'd give a strong (third) vote praising "City of God" - I just watched it again the other day. Great movie. Ditto the documentary "Born into Brothels".
I liked "Proof", too, funny scene at the drive-in as I recall. I think "Road to Perdition" had Jude Law playing a killer who shot Weegee style crime scenes (he helped create them, too).

Frank, here's one that might be right up your alley - "Gentlemen's Relish", a UK telemovie from 2001 - starred Billy Connelly as an Edwardian photographer who photographed naked women. ISort of early porn. Its based on a novel called Kingdon Swann.
Other films include "Elephant" by Gus Van Sant - one of the characters, Elias I think, is a photographer. "Proof" of course with Hugo Weaving as a blind photographer and "The Motocycle Diaries" - has several scenes of young Che taking photos... several of which (taken by the real Che) appear in the book of the same name.

Village of the Damned (1960) was on tv today. A sailor returns from a year at sea with a rangefinder "straight from Tokyo" as a gift for a friend.

Blood Diamond has some Rf action in it. I believe the female lead shoots a Leica

"Of freaks and men"... but it's more cinematography.
Another one I saw, and can't remember the title of, was about some turn-of-the-century photographer attempting to photograph fairies, and ends up being charged with the death of a reverends wife... iirc.

Hmmmm...unless I am missing something (like a special left-hand edition)...that photo is REVERSED! The shutter is on the right...the wheel is on the right ...etc...and all of those are WRONG!

Not the only time I have seen this sort of thing. Just recently, I was watching a TV program (rarely do), and the young teenage actor was "faking" the shutter release with a modern DSLR using his LEFT hand!

Appocalypse Now: There is a great scene towards the end of the film, where this photojournalist has about 5 or six leicas around his neck~
Documentary Films:
War Photographer
Born Into Brothels
Abstract Shorts:
A series by William Klein, Contacts 1, 2, 3
Cantacts 1 is my favorite! It is a short series about famous photographers showing and talking about their contact sheets. You get to see images right before the image that was chosen. Koudelka was my favorite on Contacts 1, but, really the whole thing is good, it starts with HCB, William Klein, then becomes more about conceptual photography . . . Duane Michaels on Contacts 2 is excellent as well.
Since I am on the topic, I will just throw this out there for interest sake. . . High Art . . . I went to grad school in NYC with the person that created all those photographs. All the people in the photographs were the other grad students in the program. So it is really surreal to see that film and knowing the person who took the photos and who were in the photos.
