There's a 20's Russian film called 'Chess Madness', which featured J R Capablanca who was in Moscow to play in a tournament

What about the chess like game in Star Wars: Episode 4. The original first one. Where Ar-too beats Chewie.

Apparently you can buy those sets, but they're frightfully expensive.
I own this chess set. Very few people will play me on it. I played my mother once I had her in check mate like 6 different wys. it's very hard for some people to comprehend that. The game took two hours, the explanation about a week. I left the board set up and when she visited a couple days later we went over it all again. Her third visit ending that week, she finnally conceded.

They also play regular chess on star trek deep space nine in the episode "equilibrium". I believe they played it more then that one ep, but I just saw that yesterday.

Looks like Jeff Goldblum can't set up the board properly.
