Poker Movies
 
I want to add some poker movies to my collection and I don't know which ones are out there.

Can someone suggest some movies/documenteries about poker or poker players?

I have rounders and I just ordered Poker Bustouts

What else is out there.

I'd like to start a list of poker movies

SHADE is also offensively terrible, but it is about poker.

I especially loved one of the last scenes in Maverick where he is up against quads and a straight flush and he gets his 5th card needing the ace of spades to make his royal. By rubbing it he makes it become the ace of spades.

I actually liked The Big Blind. Especially, Big Momma.

Mel Gibson was horrible (more than usual) in this movie.

Actually watched this abortion this evening. I believe the people responsible for making it should be thrown in jail. It was way worse than anyone warned me. I'm thinking of throwing out my DVD player in case it contaminates any other movies. Unbefuckinglievably bad on every level. Did someone actually pay those actors? And I use the term actors in it's broadest possible sense. Saying that it stunk is a diservice to the word stunk.

Not a bad movie...Some good improv scenes when they are in Reno.

the Sting with paul newman and robert redford was mentioned early. pretty short poker scene but one of my very favorite movies. also won best picture I believe. definately worth buying

Re: Poker Movies
 
just saw a new movie at the video store called card player by the great italian horror movie director Dario Argento. Anyone see this? By the look s of the cover i would say its not along the lines of Rounders [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] But look s cool if ur a horror movie fan.
