Cisco Kid or San Francisco Kid with Steve McQueen in it is and oldie but goodie. A couple of The Gambler movies with Kenny Rogers were also decent. The old "The Hustler" with Newman and Gleason was good.

I also liked Indecent Proposal with Redford, Demi Moore, and Woody Harrelson. White Men Can't Jump is a good one with Snipes and Harrelson.

The Gambler, House of Games, The Sting

You forgot "California Split". George Seagal and Elliot Gould as low-limit California poker players that take a trip to the big-time in Reno.

The String.

I love busting out lines from that movie while playing.

"That's what you get for playing with your head up your ass!"

"Couple more like that and we can all go to bed early, huh boys."

let it ride - richard dreyfuss's day at the track, a comedy

cincinnati kid - the best movie made about poker (not saying a whole lot but it's better than rounders)

house of games - interesting movie about confidence games... has a lot of poker terminology

I second the motion for "The Gambler".

Honorable mention is the 3-card brag scene from "Lock, Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels". The rest of that movie is refreshingly violent, recommended to anyone on the violence content alone.

Ya, Cincinatti Kid is the movie with Steve McQueen that I was thinking about. I knew Cisco Kid didn't sound right.
