Default Poker movies?

I like watching movies, and I enjoyed Rounders (I saw this after I learned how to play)
Anyway, I think there are some more interesting movies coming out
James Bond's Casino Royale: Monsieur Le Chiffre, a French gangster, uses the profits from his casino to fund terrorists. But he has made the mistake of misappropriating their funds. Le Chiffre plans to recoup the loss at a gambling tournament. James Bond is sent to make sure he doesn't win.

(Sounds fkn hilarious) http://imdb.com/title/tt0381061/


And the cool one I cant wait for is "Amarillo Slim" played by Nicolas Cage ::

You'll have to wait. It's just hype, not a movie.

Have you seen Cincinnati Kid? A lot of poker mistakes, but if you overlook them, you might enjoy.

Even if it ever did come out, I'm not sure I could let myself spend money on it since some small amount of it would benefit Amarillo Slim directly. I didn't know much about what kind of guy he was until a few months ago when he stayed at Winstar for a while, where my sister works. After hearing how he treated my sister and the other girls there, I have no respect for him. A promotional deal with Winstar fell through because of how he acted. He isn't even allowed on the property anymore.

I'm not sure why you think Casino Royale sounds like it'll be hilarious. Casino Royale was actually the first JB book ever written and I'm quite frankly really surprised that they never made a movie out of it.

The '67 Casino Royale was a 'spoof' film butI think it should be considered a legitimate film...http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061452/

anyways i think it hasn't been made yet over some rights contestation battles
