Turing machines are really interesting. Studied them in a Formal Languages course.

I saw "Breaking the Code" starring Derek Jacobi, but I was disappointed that it dealt more with Turing's personal life instead of his ideas.

I'll bet that was a very polite school.

Homosexual behavior and showing how society is -oh-so unprogressive & ignorant in its attitudes is more interesting to Hollywood then mathematics!
Besides who in Hollywood is a capable enough writer to make ideas in Formal Language Theory,Abstract Algebra & Group Theory understandable & 'interesting' to the movie going crowd.
