Mikan no Taikyoku (The Unfinished Game, aka The Go Masters) is without question the best go movie ever made. Reference was made to a Chinese DVD version earlier in this thread. There is also a Japanese version, see http://www.worldcat.org/title/go-master ... ht=edition I own the VHS tape version which this DVD reproduces and the quality is fine. The actors speak Japanese but there are Chinese and Enflish subtitles. Supposedly this version is available on interlibrary loan so it may be possible to get it for viewing without buying it.

As a mockumentry Computer Chess was funny and very entertaining.

Pi is the movie that introduced me to Go. I was so surprised that there was a game like this and I didn't know about it (I attribute the pretentiousness of that comment to my youth heh heh). I thought they were playing some kind of crazy Pente, my favorite game at the time, but Go has turned out to be so much better. Daron Aronofsky movies are always a bit on the odd side so it might not be everyone's cup of tea.

Another great mind bender is The Game. I've always been interested in alternate reality games that bring the fun into the real world and this would be the ultimate in having it take over your life.

You could go old school and have a kid friendly night with The Labyrinth. Who can get enough of David Bowie in all his 80s glory. Big hair, tights, Jim Henson, George Lucas, and Brian Froud. How can it get any better?

As long as we are on the topic of games taking over real life there is also Jumanji. Come to think about it, Go has somewhat taken over my "real" life :shock: ...

It's not a movie, but I think many Go players could appreciate watching this English documentary about Fujisawa Shuko.

Pi (my first encounter with Go) - it'd be a bit of an uncomfortble film to watch for me, now that I'm not 18 anymore - just seems a bit daft. If you can laugh at it, why not though.

+1 for Tokyo Newcomer, I really enjoyed it.

And "The Stone" looks like it'd be really good (also on the SL list).

p.s. I though the Go Master was very good, but I felt you needed to know the basic background before watching it.

For films that include Go as a side element, I like Sanjuro (especially since I like Kurosawa films). Tron legacy 2010 includes some Go and is fun to watch anyway - i.e. you've got an excuse to put it on.


Glad to hear you enjoyed Tokyo Newcomer. Did you watch it with English Subtitles? If so where did you get it?

The Stone does look interesting. Never saw Tron. Though the GO board looks amazing. Sanjuro it has been a while since I saw it. I do like Samurai films. Thanks for the info.
