Movies About Tabletop Gaming

I have never played a tabletop RPG, so watching movies that depict it is as good as I can get - and it can be pretty good.

The ones I saw and liked were:

The Gamers;
The Gamers, Dorkness Rising;
The Gamers, Hands of Fate;
The Gamers, Natural One;
Zero Charisma.

And, that is it. Not actively looking for more, but would certainly consider watching any new movie similar to these.

Thanks!
I've always wanted to try tabletop gaming.
These can at least let me get a feel for what it could be.

I saw the gamers. It was a fun video before Youtube was a thing. I wouldn't call it a good training video for playing tabletop, but it was the "everyman's game" where the dice never play nice.

Never saw any movies about it, but I've played quite a few in my time - in fact, I'm in one right now.

I used to think I didn't actually much care for it, because I'd almost invariably lose interest in the whole thing halfway through; so when an old friend got in touch inviting me a month or so back, I only accepted because otherwise they'd be a person short... but I've been having a surprising amount of fun with it.

A good DM, it turns out, makes all the difference in the world.
