CHESS MOVIES
GRAB SOME POPCORN

Here's some family friendly chess themed screen ideas for gathering around the telly during wind-blown, wet or freezing autumn evenings in the Pacific Northwest.

QUEEN OF KATWE  PG  Movie, based on the vibrant true story of a young girl from the streets of Uganda whose world changes when she is introduced to the game of chess.

BROOKLYN CASTLE  G  Documentary that tells the stories of five members of the chess team at an inner-city junior high school that has won more national chess titles than any other.

MAGNUS  G  Documentary on the early life of chess prodigy Magnus Carlsen, who became a Grandmaster at age 13, and won the World Chess Championship at age 22.

SEARCHING FOR BOBBY FISCHER  PG  Movie, based on the true story of young Josh Waitzkin.  We get to watch his natural talent develop, and how his parents try to figure out how to best nurture his personal growth.

A LITTLE GAME  PG  FIction movie.  Maxine has moved to a new school, and it's not easy.  Old grumpy Norman agrees to teach her chess, and the lessons learned help her overcome her difficulties.  

KNIGHTS OF THE SOUTH BRONX  G  Based on the true story of David MacEnulty (played by Ted Danson), who decides to teach chess (and life lessons) in a tough school in the South Bronx.  Dated cinematography, but good content.

GERI'S GAME   Short Pixar cartoon.  5 minutes long.  Wordless.  An old man in a park plays chess against .... himself?  Won an Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.

ENDGAME  Inspired by true events, the scene is Brownsville Elementary/Middle school in Texas, and Jose is having family and school difficulties.  Enter Mr. Guajardo and his chessboard.  And his Auntie.  And....

p.s. Reminder -- there's an epic chess scene near the end of the first Harry Potter movie (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.)
