truly an amazing anime. Its similar to YuGiOh where a spirit possesses a kid and helps him aong to master a particular board game, difference is that while in YuGiOh the majority of the game playing was done by the Spirit of the Mellinium Puzzle while in Hikaru's case it is he who plays most of the games and even eventually becomes as good and it is implined will even surpass the spirit (named "Sai") who possessed him.
HNG is to me far more emotionally gratifying it has its really sad moments and its awesome "pwnage" moments and I must say I have bene encouraged to explore Go myself and I have begun playing online I've about won 3 out of 5 games more or less.
I have finished watching the last episode and I ask is there a movie?

No movie that I know of. IMHO the manga is drawn much better than the anime, and is worth a read. (Also, I think there is more at the end of the manga that the anime only hints at.) I do like hearing the voices, though.
Where do you play online? I'd be up for a game if you're interested.

I don't believe there is a movie. I will say check out the manga (like Mike said) as it's pretty good and actually goes a bit past where the anime ends. Hikaru no Go is a really great series. When I first saw it 4 or 5 years ago, I got really interested in go. I bought my own board and stones and everything. I played with some of my friends in high school, and then when I came up to college I started going to the Dallas Go Club. It's good stuff.
