    Default Great Gambling Movies of All Time??

    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?

    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...

    That wasn't a very very high level math course in the movie.

    They portrayed it that way though, no?

    Just like Good Will Hunting where he solved a linear system using a matrix and is a genius, welcome to grade 7.

    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.

    i think kingnat pwnd dthorne... if that was his intention

    definately the hustler:
    for newmann and gleason, both great as great can be.
    for its distinction between loosing and winning players (though there is less variance in billiards-->less applicable to poker ).

    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
    sometimes naked
    sometimes mad
    now the fool
    now the scholar
    thus they appear on earth:
    the free men.

    Lock Stock's a good shout.

    21 is an absolutely abhorrent film.
