I agree. Most of the time in movies you just see two people playing and then someone (always "suddenly") checkmates. Meanwhile the board shots always show positions which could not possibly lead to a mate (even helpmate). Not the mention the notorious black coloured h1 square  

There have occasionally been other "quality" games that have appeared on TV or film. The famous Ed. Lasker vs Sir Geo. Thomas appeared in a British TV programme in the '60s, and an episode of "Lexx" a few years ago featured a tremendous game that I have subsequently seen was a master game but I've forgotten who played it! The baddy played White, got a terrific attack, and Black's counteraction didn't look too promising. Fantastic finish. The finish of the Nate vs House game involves a well known motif, so it's not hard to find in itself. But sometimes the context of the game can disguise such motifs and make them less easy to anticipate.

There are some famous games in movies, too. In James Bond - From Russia with Love there is the combination from Spassky - Bronstein (1960) and Blade Runner (Directors cut) features The Immortal game. In Blade Runner it's still pretty unrealistic, since those "superhumans" only discover the final queen sac - everything else was played by a human, if I remember correctly.

The dialogue is priceless and makes the game.
