Man, you're crazy if you don't include MILLION DOLLAR BABY! Hillary Swank did the best job anyone could do in that role. The film had many morals to the story. It had fabric. It had the best actors and actress of our time. Anything with Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman and Hillary Swank rocks hard! That film will forever be a monument in the history of the art. Even the technicals were superb. The themes were continuous throughout. Sorry, I got my B.A. in English Lit and took a class on film as literature. Clearly that movie rocks!

I think someone already mentioned he was out of the realms of this forum in subjective matter. Change of subject. Speaking of great chess films though, has anyone ever seen "Luzhin's Defense?" It's a great chess film, and I think all chessplayers would somewhat enjoy it. 🙂

I would go with these for chess movies:

1.searching for bobby fisher
2.Knight moves
3.Game over

They aren't movies to learn chess 🙂

Sorry thought it was a waste of time. And had very little chess in it.

sorry to show my ignorance, but will anyone tell me ALL the ways to get a draw. for example, i know a king and a bishop alone will get you a draw. in many tournaments, 50 moves is a draw--how about here? Three replicated moves by both sides will do it. what else? Thanks 🙂

just learnin'

Wrong thread. Make a new one and I will answer 🙂

also, if an opponent only makes one move and gets timed out, will he lose?

what do you mean "wrong thread"?

Game Over better only be getting number 3 because you haven't seen any other chess movies. It's full of sensationalist crap and misdirection.

Silman wrote a pretty good article at his website regarding the chess game from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Not really a chess movie, but then this really isn't a Chess thread...
