I only caught part of it on TV one time....but I actually kind of enjoyed the cheezy "Big Hand for the Little Lady" with Henry Fonda.

I agree, it is really a good movie. Is it realistic poker? no

and I have seen the whole thing. It helps to like Westerns of course.

Not too many people have heard of "Shade", but i thought it was a good movie, with alot of star actors. (Jamie Foxx, Sylvestor Stallone, Gabriel Byrne, Stuart Townshend)

It's centered around poker, and has some good twists. Here's the trailer...

He didn't ask for recommendations for movie of the year. Actually, here's what he said:

I just wondered if there are any other good poker-based films (or heaven-forbit, books) that I could check out? Like I say, I'm not after instructional material to improve my game as such, just fiction based around the world of poker... Like I say, I'm not after instructional material to improve my game as such, just fiction based around the world of poker...

I was just trying to help the guy. It's a fiction-based movie based on poker. Whether or not it's a blockbuster movie, or even realistic is obviously open to debate.

I know what he asked for and the word "good" obviously precludes that piece of [censored]. And it's not open to debate. Do you see why?

"Croupier", staring Clive Owen is a very cool movie, that's only somewhat about poker. There's lots of gambling, though, (he works as a casino dealer) and he's fantastic in it.

If u like Amarillo Slim, his biography "Amarillo Slim in a world full of fat people" is very funny.

They (maybe) gonna make a movie of it with Nicolas Cage.
