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.

OH MAN! Please ANYBODY but Nicolas Cage. I think this could be a great movie, but I can't stand Nicolas Cage.

Shade sucked but it has a lot of poker in it.

I know you are looking for poker material but a movie you out to check out is "owning mahoney" - great flick about a gambler who steals from a bank in Canada - based on a true story i believe

Agreed. 100%. He's a no-talent assclown.

Super System 2 has some good stories from Doyle Brunson and a section on the history of no limit holdem that are entertaining.

You can catch "Tilt" on ESPN thursday nights. Some people like it.

Also, in SS2, Doyle mentions that a movie script of his life story was just finished. There's some real potential there for an amazing movie if they can get the right people involved.

It always bugs me how some folks have such a visceral reaction to certain actors, and smear them mercilessly at every opportunity. I'll admit Cage has done some sucko movies that are pure poo. But I also think 'Leaving Las Vegas' & 'Adaptation' are among the finest movies I've seen in the last decade.
