Hey all,
What are some of the gambling movies/documentaries that you’ve seen?
I’ve seen Rounders of course, 21, The Gambler etc.
Wondering if there are any good ones out there that I may have missed.
My personal favorite is Let It Ride, no joke great movie.
Hustler
the cincinnati kid.
rounders 2 might be in the works
is color of money classified as a gambling movie? if so that might have to take the top spot.
I hated 21.
This MIT kid is everything i wanted to be. I felt such a failure after that movie
Good call on Let It Ride. It is awesome but no one has seen it.
Another great one that no one has seen is California Split.
I also liked Owning Mahoney.
Swingers is not a gambling movie but the Vegas scene was money.
Croupier was a Netflix suggestion I watched sometime last year. Clive Owen plays a casino dealer and aspiring author. It’s not an award winner by any means, but it’s enjoyable if you like gambling and heist movies. Check it out.
Two For the Money.
One of the best movies of all time imo.
^ Is this a joke? It had such potential and the biggest let down ever.
^yeah, that had so much potential, now I only get it mixed up with Devil’s Advocate.
For me, Rounders is the gold standard. It nails the underground poker scene, and the tension in those heads-up moments is unreal. Plus, Malkovich as Teddy KGB? Classic. I still quote ‘Pay that man his money’ way too often.
