Does anybody know some good chess movies?

i just watched "Game over: Kasparov and the machine". It is a documentary about the match between Kasparov and IBM's Big Blue computer. I really enjoyed the movie even though all the conspiracy theory in it was a bit disturbing.

Are there more movies with/about chess around?

There's of course the famous 'Searching for Bobby Fischer'. Lesser known would be 'The Luzhin defense'. Enjoy!

Never heard of the "Luzhin Defense", thanks for pointing it out!

Look here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/6924073.stm - Why do the movies love chess?

Interesting article, indeed, with a few more chess movie tips. I like this part of the article:

Hollywood is a place often chided for being disproportionately full of airheads, and movie-makers therefore use chess to add gravitas into movies. And it's gravitas that comes with a bit of interaction. Illustrating the cleverness of your baddie by showing him with his head in an encyclopaedia is not quite so engaging.

Thanks for letting me know about this!
