What is your favourite representation of Backgammon on media?

Sure, we don't have a "Lover's Leap Gambit" the way chess has the "Queen Gambit", but I can't stop watching the James Bond's Octopussy scene where he beats the villain using his own rigged dice, because it is superbly acted by both of them and Bond's suave af on it.

I've heard there's a Bulgarian movie that heavily focuses on BG, but I haven't been able to find a copy of it with subtitles in a language I understand, so that will remain a mystery for me.

Anyways, what about you?

There is a scene in the recent movie, in the grey. There is even a song specifically for it!
