FILM: Fun Chemistry Movies
I recently engaged with a chem. teacher who is feeling some pressure to stick with the "text book, study guide, lab and test rotation." As you know I had a very negative experience trying to learn science because it was devoid of story/narrative and clearly organized for the left brain students only.
I think science needs a story behind the numbers and concepts so that regular students (like myself) can understand. See:
#1. TEACHING: SCIENCE, ART OR CRAFT?
#2. LITERACY, SCIENCE & THE 4Ss
#3. VIEWING STRATEGIES: A CASE STUDY
A few years ago I found these videos for the chemistry teacher I was working with and they do a wonderful job of making chemistry pop! It took me a long time to re-find them as they have changed distributors a few times.
1. I Came, I Saw, I Redacted DVD
Animated atoms battle elements to conquer the world. Through a series of encounters and reactions, many atoms are oxidized and reduced. This video shows the reactions such as oxygen and magnesium and hydrogen and halogen.

2. Atom Bond DVD
Define atom bonds and related concepts with this delightful program, which parodies a James Bond movie. The DVD shows illustrations of each type of oxidized while following Gold Metallic Bond as he investigates why carbon, nitrogen, and other atoms are training themselves in different types of bonds. The many topics covered include network solids; polar molecules; dipole, hydrogen, metallic, and ionic bonds; electrolysis; oxygen; cyanide; glucose; bucky ball; ethanol; and more.

Some additional finds (related)
3. The Chemistry of Cooking DVD
Use the familiar realm of food to convey basic chemistry concepts. By watching a sponge cake bake and examining the chemical reactions that occur, students will define such concepts as coagulation, emulsification, and crystallization. The program also conveys why cooks need to consider many variables when preparing ingredients; for example, warm eggs beat better than cold eggs. With these lessons behind them, viewers will be both better chefs and brilliant chemists.
