There is no doubt that as a film, The Seventh Seal is the best listed, and indeed, one of the best films of all time.  If I recall correctly, Death mates the Knight with ...0-0-0++.  I understand why Bergman staged it that way, but I think most players would've chosen the simpler ...Rd8++.

Dangerous Moves is a good movie, and the chess is technically more interesting than in the Bergman film.  I forget, was 2001, A Space Odyssy mentioned?

6/9-05 Two Canadian Chess Videos (http://scc.saskchess.com/modules.php?name=videos) - once again Jamin Gluckie provides an inside report of what chessplayers think about during a game.

A cut n paste from my site's links to fun stuff - for those who haven't seen these chessmovies yet...

Just noticed a new book at Chess & Bridge that I s'pose would interest you:

Chess in the Movies
Bob Basalla
£22.95
422 pages (large format)

It's all here, entertainment and fun about one of everyone's favorite topics....movies....only this book on flicks is about how chess is used and abused as a "prop." Dentist, chess guy, and film buff Bob Basalla goes through more than 2000 movies to find the howlers, the silliness, and some of the most amazing conversations you wish you had never heard.There are illegal moves, checks that aren't checks, positions that are impossible according to the rules of chess, and plots that are off the charts with continuity problems being tougher than the chess problems!

I too like the Seventh Seal. I dont think its a typical Bergman film in some aspects. Its a narative of a Knight (played by Max von Sydow) who returns home from the crusades.
The film gives a rather good picture of mediavel Europe haunted by the plague.
On his way home the Knight  playes a chess game with Death, who naturally has the black pieces. There is some wry humor in it:
Death at a certain moment tries to cheat. Also note that the plague is also known as the "Black Death).  The Knight finally makes a sacrifice (which doesnt save his game) but saves two of the main characters.

Hey, Smyslov_Fan, it seems to me as if all your polls only prove one thing: that chess fanatics can not agree on any subject!

I haven't seen it, but be aware it's a martial arts flick, and the translation is a bit loose.  It probably doesn't have any chess at all.

Taljechin,

Of course whenever you ask for an opinion, I'm more than willing to give mine!    I sat through the Luzhin Defense and was disappointed by the pacing, the chess positions (there were even cases when the board was set up wrong), by the lack of feel for the tournament halls,  and by the woodenness of some of the performances.  

It's not a great movie, but if you have insomnia you could do worse than rent this one.  Still, it's not nearly as good as the novella by Nabokov.  After that movie, I washed my brain out by watching Dangerous Moves again.  

I know, I couldn't resist putting in another plug for that movie. The positions were actually created Laszlo Szabo in Dangerous Moves.  And for those who think the plot is unoriginal, kudos!  In many ways, it's a recreation of the Karpov-Korchnoi Manilla match, with a few events from other world championship matches tossed in for good measure.  On top of that, it won an Academy for Best Foreign Picture!  How often do chess movies do that?  (I'm not even sure if Seventh Seal won, but that's more an indictment of the Academy than anything.)
