It's hardly fresh news, but I just noticed that go makes an appearance in a little 1983 French movie called Le Faucon (the hawk).
Technically speaking, Le Faucon belongs to a specific movie category knwon in French as "nanar", a word without English equivalent, and translated as "[a] film that's so bad it's good". In that case, it is a very cheap thriller movie, with some hallucinatingly absurd ideas into it. For the ones curious about it, and lovers of the genre, I garantee it's worth your time.
Anyway, at one point, the hero, a formerly elite cop looking for revenge, go to visit his father (?) ; and the aformentioned father is playing a go game against himself.

As it is often the case when go makes an appearance into western movies, the material is mistreaten, as the hero spills the stones into the board...

... and arrange a little position to illustrate his (very complex) point of view : he places a black stone surrouded by many white ones, meaning the bad guy he is looking after is encircled by police forces and has no chances. I cannot attach more than 3 pictures, but it's not hard to imagine.
I did not look that closely, but the game set on the first picture looks surprisingly accurate!...
