Cincinnati Kid

Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels, and Snatch.

(Not full on gambling movies but gambling is involved in the major storylines in both)

Just a few that I dig... Certainly not a comprehensive list...

Hard Eight

 

[celticGreen+]

Owning Mahowny

 

[celticGreen+]

The Hustler

 

[celticGreen+]

Color of Money

 

[celticGreen+]

The Cincinnati Kid

...And someday, if I'm incredibly lucky, this list will be joined by my screenplay.

I'm always surprised so many people like Rounders... The characters are so incredibly two-dimensional, and a lot of the poker doesn't make much sense for players of their perceived level. Ed Norton is utterly useless in it - he's sort of like Billy Zane, in Titanic, in that he's an asshole the entire way through - never changes, and his sole purpose is to move Matt Damon's character through the story.

Having to watch from outside the bar, I LOVE that scene. The first scene of that flick is great too, at the church. I ended up reading the book, that the film is based on, and while very good, there is no gambling involved whatsoever.

 

[Bushay]

The Hustler

Bout time someone mentioned this one. This is no.1 in my book. And no.2 isnt even close.

 

[PerryHotter]

Casino for me was the best. When Rosenthal was alive I loved going to his website and looking at his free picks of the day

Wonder how new movie Runner Runner will size up to the rest of the movies mentioned in this thread...
