YOU KNOW I AM TOTALLY SHOCKED THAT ROUNDERS IS NOT ON THAT LIST. THE MOVIE FEATURED TWO OF TODAY'S MOST AWESOME ACTORS IN EDWARD NORTON AND JOHN MALKOVICH. THE STORY WAS DECENT AND THOSE TWO DUDES WERE NOTHING SHORT OF BRILLIANT IN THEIR ROLES.

Rounders was good.

 

[TommyMullins]

MALKOVICH WAS AMAZING IN THAT ROLE!! THE PROFESSOR WAS GOOD, AND EVEN THE OTHER SUPPORTING ACTORS LIKE KNISH AND GRAMA AND THAT HOT BRUNETTE PETRA!!!

 

[HuckFinn]

That list was weak. Probably because I haven't seen 75% of the films. Rounders was outstanding, I think I heard something about a part 2. Anyone see Nick Nolte in the "Good Thief" not a bad flick at all.

WHAT!!!

Where is "the deli"...if you bet sports its a classic

 

[Mr NJ Sports]

Rounders was my favorite movie of all time and I had never played a hand of poker in my life before I saw it.

The Deli was a funny movie...some pointless dopey parts but a pretty funny indy movie. Also had "Vincent Pastore" , and Frank Vincent in it. Gretchen Mol from Rounders also in it.

For some of us oldtimers, "The Cincinnati Kid" with Steve McQueen and Edward G. Robinson is a favorite. Upstart trying to beat the Master in Five Card Stud. Similiar in theme to "The Hustler" with Paul Neumann and Jackie Gleason as Minnesota Fats for pool enthusiasts. Would recommend for some of you youngsters to see how the old game used to be played.

The Cincinnati Kid is one of my favorite movies also. Edward G. Robinson played "The Man" Lancey Howard.

[Mr NJ Sports]

Cincy Kid was very good. Great ending.



Teddy KGB best line...

"Just like a young man coming in for a quickie."

WORM TO GRAMA: "YOU BEEN ROLLING FAGS IN THE VILLAGE AGAIN?"
