What are the best Gambling Movies?

Loren78 · Jun 17, 2008

Yeah its cliche for this forum...but these have always been my favorite...problem is their usually poker related...and I'm sports only....

Rounders?
Maverick?
The Hustler?
The Cooler?
Croupier?

I know I'm missing a ton...Right now I am currently watching "Deal" with Burt Reynolds...

for me rounders takes the cake.

If you wanna compare gambling and therx...i think we are a combination of the movie "Two for the Money" and those old guys on "Rat Race"

The Vig ..................just kidding this is perhaps the worst movie ever, but it is very much about gambling. its actually sorta funny to watch but its not supposed to be funny.

Two for the money. 90% of you say it sucks, and I dont care. But I adore it.

"I had a life!"

Also : "Rounders"

"Lucky You" was pretty good imo, and a under the radar movie probally for most people on here. Check it out. :103631605

I forgot about this one....this movie could have been a lot better if McConaughey wasn't in it...

Heard about the Caan flick....I have yet to see either....the older flicks are way better than the crop that have come out the past 15 or so years...

steak, I don't know if you were around, but Mahowny(real name Malony) bet millions on baseball at the Barbary Coast one summer in the early 80s.

I liked it! The old guy scores with the young chic, thats good enough for me. Baldwin is great at playing evil.

Stu Ungar story also. Not a great flick. But worth watching once.

The Sting

The movie itself is average...but you can't pass up a chance to watch Baldwin in that kind of role....he kills it....

Anybody see the Runner? that one nearly made me quit gambling all together....John Goodman is a beast in this movie...
