alfromni persistenceofvision will have to explain about the dates, if he cares to. Personally, I am guessing that scientists who significantly worked as scientists prior to 1900 are what are being sought here … and Edison followed Tesla as Night follows Day.
Sir Bernard Spilsbury was still at University in 1899 so …. was he a "Pre-1900 working scientist " ?

BATouttaheck Re Sir Bernard Educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, he took a Bachelor of Arts degree in natural science in 1899. So in effect he could legitimately be called a scientist from 1899. i.e. pre 1900. He could have formulated scientific ideas before then...who knows?

Hi guys, I meant people who were actively working as scientists before 1900.

I think Sir Bernard would be a bit of a stretch, sorry.

My fault for not being clearer, gents
13 Films Depicting Scientists who died pre-1900
01. The Story of Mankind (Harpo Marx as Isaac Newton) 02. Siege of Syracuse - Rossano Brazzi as Archimedes 03. The Black Rose (1950) (Henry Oscar as Roger Bacon) 04. Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) - Henry Stephenson as Sir Joseph Banks 05. The Story of Louis Pasteur (Paul Muni as Pasteur)
I'm sure this is annoying but it should hopefully save us arguments about when exactly a scientist becomes a scientist

I actually considered doing pre-1800 scientists as I thought pre-1900 might be too easy...
Probably best if someone else chooses the next one!

Plenty of scientists available but not too many movies around which fit them,
