OP says noone flips their king to resign, well I do, but I've never played competitively. Aren't most games in movies casual? If they were all played with rigourous application of professional rules then that would be unrealistic too.
I've seen people playing with the board oriented wrongly, not more than a couple of times admittedly. Is the reason for it being so common in films that they've flipped the shot a lot of the time?
