danishcomfort Posted 24 January, 2018 Share Posted 24 January, 2018 What is your favourite movie about gambling, I only have a few and I may need some other good movies. Mine favourites are: 1. The Sting, classic movie about hustlers making the big hustle. It is a must see if you havent seen it yet. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070735/?ref_=nv_sr_1 2. Rounders. It is almost also a classic. Hit rock bottom and how to get up after that, if you like poker and see people living on the edge it is also a must see. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128442/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Quote Link to comment
slotsofun Posted 24 January, 2018 Share Posted 24 January, 2018 Well, being a snooker, pool and american pool player I can definitely say the likes of, "The Hustler", "The Colour of Money" or one of the more modern good ones "Poolhall Junkies". There's also "21" for those interested in card counting (or who are students), and "Casino" for fans of the more thriller type. 1 Quote Link to comment

Guest Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 Casino - With Robert De Niro is my personal favourite. If you want a good documentary then Louis Theroux on Las Vegas is awesome - crazy high rollers and lots of footage inside the casinos. Quote Link to comment

The two things which really stuck with me all this time were a.) The dude on a massive 24 he losing streak and his mate trolling him to go harder (undoubtedly the worst possible advice) and b.) The old lady. I'm still undecided if the casino were milking her or they just became her surrogate family.... somewhere in the middle I suppose. 2 Quote Link to comment
LetsGiveItASpin Posted 25 January, 2018 Share Posted 25 January, 2018 The sting has 8,3 on IMDB, might be worth checking out 1 Quote Link to comment

I guess it has been an inspiration to the Oceans Eleven and maybe also RocknRolla and the Snatch, but this is the classic. Quote Link to comment
Gerndy54 Posted 17 December, 2021 Share Posted 17 December, 2021 Although there are few good gambling movies out there, one of them is Matt Damon's "Rounders". But my favorite movie to watch is Casino Royal 007. The good news is you can stream it on Netflix as well. Quote Link to comment

As an ex dealer, I can't watch this movie without screaming at the TV when the dealer does certain things that would just never happen in any casino. I suppose police officers get must get the same effect when watching crime shows! 😅 -- As for my favourites: 21 Rounders Croupier Molly's Game Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Rounders hands down has some of the best movie quotes ever though! Teddy KGB is simply a whole vibe. Quote Link to comment
Ash W Posted 17 December, 2021 Share Posted 17 December, 2021 Casino - 1995. Quite enjoyed it!! Quote Link to comment
dagreenblazer Posted 18 December, 2021 Share Posted 18 December, 2021 (edited) A really entertaining gambling movie I'd recommend is "Mississippi Grind" with Ryan Reynolds and the always excellent Ben Mendelsohn - is a great watch for sure!

dagreenblazer Posted 18 December, 2021 Share Posted 18 December, 2021 (edited) And another amazing film definitely worth watching is "Uncut Gems" where Adam Sandler is brilliant as a degenerate sports bettor! The whole film is masterfully crafted as an uncut gem itself and is a really immersive ride watching as his life goes on a rollercoaster!
