Evolution is an awesome movie. I do not show the entire thing in class due to occasional inappropriate language and subject matter (cya), but there are some awesome scenes and lines. Ovbviously, many of the scenes can be used to illustrate evolution...
Cell Division - cells dividing at exponential rate under microscope
DNA - 10 based pairs ... all life on earth only has 4 base pairs- watch for language in this scene
Cells & Evolution - Single celled organisms --> multicellular organisms; "I am no biologist, but how many cells do single celled organisms have?"
Cells (KWL) - my uncle lives in a cell ...
Periodic Table & Problem Solving - carbon based life forms are to arsenic as nitrogen based life forms are to selenium
Reading product labels & ingredients - head & shoulders
Asexual reproduction in animals - worms splitting (fission)
more to come...
