Hmm....I don't know any chess movies actually
@rsani007 Yes, there is a movie with this name but it is not specifically about Bobby Fischer, but about a child prodigy of chess, although at times they talk about Fischer I recommend it, it is very good
I can't think of any movies, either; however, apparently there is an interesting chess episode in The Simpson's featuring Magnus Carlson. In the show a famous miniature is played by Homer.

Scenes from the show:
The miniature explained:
There was a movie released in 2104 called Pawn Sacrifice. It starred Tobey Maguire as Bobby Fischer and Liev Schrieber as Boris Spassky. It took a few liberties with the true story, but it was an entertaining enough movie.
It focused a lot on Bobby Fischer's growing mental illness. The climax of the movie was the Fischer/Spassky matches in Iceland.
It is worth watching.
There is a film called The Queen's Gambit due for release next month.
It is based on a novel of the same name , written by Walter Tevis.
I have read the book and if the film is half as good as the book , then it should be worth watching.
There's this documentary as well titled "Bobby Fischer Against the World"
