Always!

 

[GoSooners]

No list is complete without Let It Ride. One of the funniest movies ever. And Jennifer Tilley and her tight red dress was hotter than shit in this movie.

Casino, Miller's Crossing not really gambling movies

but mob movies with a gambling storyline to them and both are great

THE GAMBLER is my personal FAV

 

[tanner12oz]

Let it ride of course..21 with Kevin spacey was fun..if you want something about the problem side of the game owning Mahoney (spelling) with the now dead Phillip Seymour Hoffman is a great account of the darker side of the game..based on true story also

[VIEJODINOSAUR]

The Gambler and Let It Ride….

 

[pocketrockets]

Rounders, The Gambler and Hard Eight have to be my favorites.

Casino and Lock, Stock Two Smoking Barrels up there, but not "gambling" movies.

[charliepeete]

let it ride ........great movie........i have friends that remind me of every character in the movie

 

[LasVegasRealtor]

Rounders, Two for the Money, and Double Down (Zigs)

 

[StraightXRS]

21 is a fucking joke of a movie

 

[TheComputerGroup]

1) Rounders (great actors, movie seemed so real)

2) The Gambler (guy was a degenerate.....he seemed to only feel alive when he was chasing his losses)

3) Bookies (knew couple kids like this in college)

4) Let it Ride (best horse racing movie ever)

5) Lay the Favorite

6) Even Money

7) Two For The Money

8) Silver Linings Playbook

9)The Sting

10) The Cooler

 

[JDeuce]

A lot of the lines in The Gambler are outdated and cheesy, but James Caan totally carries that movie. It's gripping...it feels like you're going through the degenerate journey right along with him. And I can't remember the name of his GF in that movie, but Jesus...what a gorgeous knockout.

Not coincidentally, Caan was also awesome as the casino boss in the Las Vegas TV series. That's probably the last show I've watched regularly. I couldn't even name a single "hit" show that's on any network today...just not my thing.
