"Tastes like a tub of piss somebody farted in"
LOL!!
as for me...probably the opening scene of "Righteous Kill" where Al Pacino says somethin about Bobby Fischer.
Best movie with a chess theme in it?
Sort:

Searching for Bobby Fischer was also a good movie! A righteous kill got to check it out!
a bit gay ... but perhaps Becket (1964)
I've always enjoyed tales about European royalty
It's actually been scientifically proven that the answer to this question is The Seventh Seal.

The Seventh Seal, is a wonderful choice, and Becket's a clever choice
Edit: This edit is three years after my above opinion was posted. I no longer think the "The Seventh Seal" is a good movie
Independence Day.
However the soon to be released American classic " Chess Sociopath " will take the prize.
Searching for Bobby Fischer is a classic call.
The Mighty Pawns is great, watched it in high school with my chess team.
The Seventh Seal is my pick - classic cinema and philosophical and stuff. :)
For plays, I have to say Endgame though, by Sam Beckett.
Blade Runner doesn't have a chess theme really, just a chess scene.

I don't know about that, theoreticalboy. With the notion of man's creations overcoming him, I think chess was a relevant theme.
Chess isn't the theme but has a cameo role in The Game (1997) a creative film with Michael Douglas, Sean Penn, and Deborah Kara Unger.
I'll never forget the first time I watched The Game. Stories like this are the reason why movies were invented.
Knight Moves with Christopher Lambert is pretty good.

I can go along with that. Though it seems in most of the choices mentioned so far, chess is less a theme, than a quite magnificent vehicle for the realization of a theme. Ah, chess, your metaphorical splendours abound...
Has to be The Luzhin Defense.
Great finish puzzle
I believe my favorite is Fresh!
