I’m late to the party on this, but I recently learned that the winning film in Duke’s 2008 Froshlife first-year movie festival, Wilson’s Making the Grade, features both Lilly and Perkins Libraries. Lilly and its opinionated e-printer make an appearance at about 2:10, and Perkins and the Gothic Reading Room show up at 6:20.
Know any other appearances of the Duke Libraries on film?

Wasn’t Duke campus and the library also featured in “The Handmaid’s Tale”?
A Google search turned up this page of minutes from an Academic Council meeting in 1996 where the disruptions caused by various films being made on campus was discussed. Looks like “Kiss the Girls” and “The Program” also featured Duke and the libraries.
