The Golden ratio featured largely in the movie Donald in Mathmagic Land. I also believe it is mentioned in The Da Vinci Code movie. Also the movie
Pi is really good and it is about the golden mean, the golden ratio and the Fibonacci sequence.

The golden ratio has been around forever, but people did not discover it until around the time of the early Egyptians.
A great many things have the golden ratio in them varying from things fabricated by humans such as architecture, the proportions of the sides of a book also fall into the golden ratio. The golden ratio also occurs naturally for example the spiral in the snail's shell falls into the golden ratio. Generally most man made things have the golden ratio in them as it has been found quite simply, to look good.
Nobody has been identified.The Golden ratio has fascinated people in ancient cultures for centuries. It has been of interest, not just to mathematicians, but also to biologists, musicians, architects, artists, and other disciplines.
Fibonacci didn't discover the golden ratio. It had been used thousands of years earlier,for example in construction of religious architecture by the Greeks, who considered it themost perfect and visually pleasing ratio of structural length to width. Fibonacci studied asimple numerical series that generates the number equal to the golden ratio.The number is also the solution to the equation: [ (x - 1) = 1/x ].
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers in which each number is the sum of the two previous numbers. When graphed, the sequence creates a spiral. The sequence is also related to the "Golden Ratio." The Golden Ratio has been used to explain why certain shapes are more aesthetically pleasing than others.
