There are lots of great movies with chess scenes inside the strory such as Casablanca, the Great Escape, From Russia with Love, Searching for bobby Fischer and so on. There are lots of Japanese made movies with shogi scenes as well but not many are avaialble to watch in the countries outside Japan. Today I would like to introduce a Japanese film with shogi scene which is sold in Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. It's directed by Hirokazu Koreeda. The title is "Afterlife". I laughed very much when I encountered the shogi scene of it recently.
For your reference, here are some review pages of this film.
