Watched the movie 21 the other day and thought it was great. Got me thinking, what are some other great gambling movies out there? There has to be others besides this one, Rounders is good too though. What does everyone think?

The Cincinatta Kid > all others
not even close
i thought 21 was terrible.
there was a canadian movie about the same team as in 21, but it was much better.
Owning Mahoney was good.
I never got how "the most gifted mind at M.I.T." has issues with getting money to go to Harvard anyway.
And do they seriously make you pay all 300k up front?
And why the fuck is he in advanced ridiculous super-intelligent math if he wants to get into medicine? Shouldn't he be in biology or something...
ROUNDERS FTW ! ! ! !
Enter the Dragon, bitches gambled with their lives and lost to Bruce Lee
That wasn't a very very high level math course in the movie.Quote:

This was pretty funny because usually someone quotes a comment and does not add anything to it because they agree 100% with the quote and feel nothing else needs to be added.Quote:

color of money:
for some of the best billiard frauds ever and carmens lovely line: You win one more game, you're gonna be humping your fist for a long time. Got that, Vincent?
poolhall junkies? meh..watched it 3 times, frauds are ok, palminteri and walken do a nice job, overall mood is entertaining though not great, imo.
how about wallstreet as far s it concerns "gambling"?
rounders...i liked it a lot, didn`t cross my way until 2007, though.
lock, stock and two smoking barrels...anybody ever been playing staked by your friends lifetime savings and dumping it being victim to a fraud??
watch nick morane PUKE....
hags
Lock Stock's a good shout.
21 is an absolutely abhorrent film.
This was/is a serious question.Quote:
