I’m looking to create a watchlist of chess movies. Any recommendations?

Searching For Bobby Fischer

(That's the first chess movie I can recall watching and is a good one)

Life of a King (2013) is worth a watch. Based on a real-life story.

The Queen's Gambit is a 7 episode TV miniseries, rather than a movie, but it's very good.

There's also Computer Chess (2013) - A 1980s-set story centered around a man vs. machine chess tournament.

The Grass Arena (1992)... the true story of John Healy who discovered he was pretty good at chess while in prison. Doesn't seem available to watch though.
