I posted one on the 'forgotten' films thread - Came a Hot Friday, a New Zealand film from 1985.
It's on youtube in segments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37XvS0vtIPU Obviously The Sting is the daddy. Others that spring to mind are Let It Ride and Rounders. Paul Thomas Anderson's first film, Hard Eight, barely qualifies but is definitely worth a watch. |

Casino and 21 were very good films particulary the former.
Also remember as a kid watching the film about gaye future , it might have been called the gaye future affair. Surprised no one has made a film about barney tbh, plenty of content to go on there |

Based on the brutal robbery that fascinated Australia, The "The Great Bookie Robbery" is a really good movie.

I hear they have got a sequel planned called King Of The Plums if the box office is good on that one.

Outside Bet (Bob Hoskins) was watchable

Patrick Marber's play "Dealer's Choice" was an enjoyable night out at the National Theatre back in the 90s, even though I knew next to nothing about Poker.
Not sure it ever transferred to telly or cinema. |

surprised nobody has mentioned Two for the Money - one of the best scenes is when al pacino's character (a tipster) infiltrate a GA meeting and starts handing out his card

owning mahowny is a great film, a must watch for all gamblers/degens Thanks for the recommendation, I'd never heard of it. While 'great' may be stretching it, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Hoffman brilliant as ever. I'd love to do that. Would be worth the bird! |

One would have to go a long way to beat The Sting starring Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Money Plays starring Roy Scheider and Sonia Braga.

Bad Lieutenant (1992) would probably qualify as it contains a strong gambling thread ... Worth a mention if only for the fact it contains some of the greatest swearing in movie history... like this scene here:

'Winner Takes All' staring the queen of musicals Shirley Jones in
a very unusual role for her. |

By:
Not a gambling film, but possibly the finest card game scene in film history.
