Best movie with a chess theme in it?

I've seen Fresh, I like the parts with Sam L Jackson but pretty much detest the rest. I haven't seen Blade Runner, that guy Rutger Hauer still gives me the creeps. This is the first I've heard about Seventh Seal (I love foreign films) and Revolver (I love Ritchie, Statham, Liotta, and Outkast).  I'm going to have to check those two out soon!

You love 'foreign' films?

lol theoreticalboy

i do, i also like spelling bee champs and dictionaries and ice cream.

Just any foreign film will do then?  You should watch Baise-moi!

:O!

TB ...thank you for your suggestion, but I passed that one up because it looked boring.  Perhaps that is the point you were trying to make.

Prawn ... maybe the chess scene in The Thomas Crown Affair could be useful for those who argue that men and women should compete seperately in tournement play?

"Prawn ... maybe the chess scene in The Thomas Crown Affair could be useful for those who argue that men and women should compete seperately in tournement play?"

I've never heard anyone say that men and women should play in seperate tournaments. Some women choose to play in female-only events (for reasons of income, I've always assumed).

Wait, boring?  Baise-moi is many things, and looks like many things, but boring most certainly isn't one of them!

And yes, I was merely drawing attention to the fact that saying 'I love foreign films' is hopelessly general and vague, especially since many a foreign (accepting, by the way, the definition that has anything produced outside of Hollywood as foreign, which is fairly useless as definitions go) film looks a lot like a regular old non-foreign film.

Recently watched and loved it! 

The Count of Monte Cristo has a nice part near the end when Fernand Mondego looks for stolen money and finds a chess piece in a empty treasure chest.

Um. Harry Potter and the Sorceror's stone. Has no one said that yet?

Not just a chess board, it had an epic sacrifice apparently

Although its not a movie; Code Geass

 Casablanca, In Rick's Cafe Humphrey Bogart (who was an expert and played for money in central park in the 20's) was playing a game of chess. He was playing Black and was appropriately employing the French defense.
