    This.
    Inception.
    Agels and Demons (although, more for art history nerds than architects, but still adjacent).
    Any more?

      Gattaca, and Blade Runner come to mind. I recall some Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, and other mid-century modern stuff, in those films.

            High Rise - if by architecture, you mean movies that have buildings and spaces in them. its all of them.
            The film creates a Stereotypical architect. that is not an architect.Architects are no longer Renaissance Men.they obviously had not checked the facts either. it is clearly not modernism. its Brutalist.
            This film is not an architecture film, if anything it is a socio-econonmical film that deals with philosophy. to say the least it could only scratch the surface of a Le-Corbusier urban-post modern utopian philosophy. There is a Thesis written about this urban philosophy which coincides and possibly originates references within the film. http://www.academia.edu/222442/Le_Corbusier_and_Tafuri_on_Architecture_Utopia_and_Community
            Inception - generally identifies the theme of form following function therefore creating elaborate levels to fulfill a goal is the most important rule of architecture.
            Angels and demons - the beep? watch a documentary about Italy. far more informative.

              I thought using Brutalist architecture to portray the brutalism of capitalist society was pretty clever, and plays on a bit of architectural knowledge even if it's just a somewhat inside joke.
