user9517: I am trying to encourage a young friend to learn chess. He is very interested, just like any child would be with a child's play. I am wondering which movie about chess to choose, that could cause more interest and improved learning to him.

user8160: In addition to great suggestion by Mark.
You can also try Brooklyn Castle: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1800266/
It seems quite inspirational, the main message 'it's also cool to play chess'. 

user9572: First movie that came to my mind was Life of a King, but some scenes are not recommended to young children. You should watch it before and then decide yourself! 
Maybe you can also check out Algorithms. I didn't manage to see it, but seems to be quite inspirational.

user19190: 
Queen of Katwe 1
Lang Leve de Koningin (i guess only available in dutch and german?) 2


user-1: A movie that I like about chess is "The Luzhin Defense".
However, the movie might encourage your friend not to be obsessive with chess. Anyhow, the tactical problems showed in the movie deserves a view if you are yet a chess player.

user3665: Searching for Bobby Fisher maybe.
