Okay, it isn't a movie, but I rather liked a science-fiction novel by Paul O. Williams, "The Fall of the Shell." In this book, a future matriarchal community in Illinois (USA) lives in a single fortress-like stone building whose construction was inspired by an old shell collection. The council chamber, for instance, is based on a nautilus. One of the James Bond thrillers, "Octopussy," has a colorful octopus in an aquarium as well as the delectable villainess of the same name. Aren't there any movies about oysters?? Andrew K. Rindsberg Geological Survey of Alabama
