Movies that Feature Backgammon
 

Some friends and I just recently starting playing a Backgammon and are having a lot of fun with it. I've got some rental coupons and we're looking for a good movie or two in which Backgammon is played by characters or has some other relatively prominent role. Any ideas?

Octopussy.

:lol: You're kidding right?

I can understand "movies with cool car chases" or "movies with a Russian villan" or whatnot but that takes the cake.

Grats tommy for finding one!

this may be the strangest request we have had in a while...thinking

Finally, someone asks the question that surely has haunted many a dvdtalk poster. I for one am relieved!

As for films with Backgammon...err...umm...duh...

Ok, beats me.

Not a movie but it was featured in ABC's Lost.

Well, in The Bad News Bears Walter Matthau did yell at the future-headless Vic Morrow, "An intentional walk with the bases empty? This is baseball, not backgammon!"

That's all I got.
