Introduction: I have been a reader of the listserv for 3 years now. I currently work for the District of North Saanich, British Columbia as their Records Coordinator.
Three of us did presentations at the Association of Canadian Archivists' conference in Kingston, Ontario in 2007. Two of us published our papers in Archivaria.

The third presenter, Dave Mattison, has a website which contains copious lists of archives/records centres/museums/art galleries in fictional works. http://fictionalarchives.blogspot.ca/
While our presentations were more geared towards archives/archivists, my analysis of films often depicted record centres. A few of the ones in the presentation below were also in my analysis.

Several years ago a link was posted to this list for a slideshow on "Records Management in the Movies." http://rmaa.rentsoft.biz/lib/items/RM-at-the-movies.pdf
It would need to be updated.

There are records management elements also in the movies R.E.D., R.E.D. 2, Stranger Than Fiction, and "2012" just to name a few that I've spotted. It might be fun to have a complete list of "RIM" movies someday.
In R.E.D. Ernest Borgnine is the records manager, in R.E.D.2 an entire records center gets destroyed - gets shot up (that probably wasn't in their disaster recovery plan). In Stranger Than Fiction, we see IRS agents find a 10 year old audit file (paper folder) in virtually seconds. In 2012 John Cusack does some quick retreival research while the state of Wyoming in being blown back to the stone age (a must-see).
