No stranger to films, McHattie made his motion picture debut in 1970's The People Next Door, a drama co-starring Nehemiah Persoff. This was followed by supporting roles in a wide variety of films, including Gray Lady Down (1978, with David Clennon, Ronny Cox, Rosemary Forsyth, and Robert Ito), Death Valley (1982, with Catherine Hicks), Bloodhounds of Broadway (1989, with Ethan Phillips, Googy Gress, and Alan Ruck), (1994, with Aron Eisenberg and Ron Soble), and (1994, with Timothy Carhart and Jimmy Ortega), and (1996, starring Whoopi Goldberg and Carol Kane.) 
McHattie's other films include (2002, with Patrick Bauchau and Oz Perkins), David Cronenberg's (2005), and (2007).

McHattie reunited with 300 director Zach Snyder for the 2009 film Watchmen, based on the acclaimed comic book (and later graphic novel) from DC Comics.
