Question
For days now, my sister-in-law and I have been trying to figure out what movie partially takes place in a mental institution. The main character is in there (but doesn't need to be), and he's sitting at a table with an older gentleman who's eating checkers as he's playing it. This is driving me crazy. I know it's a relatively newer movie. But this is the only part I can remember for some reason. My sis-in-law keeps coming up with answers I know aren't right, because some are movies I haven't seen in years, or ever, and I just watched this a few weeks ago on tv. HELP!

Answer
Offhand, this could be one of several films.

Are you thinking of "Cuckoo's Nest" w/ Jack Nicholson?  or something newer?

Any stars in it that you can think of?  If you provde a bit more information, I can help you.  But truly, a couple films are coming to mind here...
