Top 14 films featuring gambling

Bad Lieutenant with Harvey Kietel a shocking omission.

ROUNDERS

The lack of Rounders makes this thread a joke.

Lola rennt

Agreed, the exclusion of the movie rounders makes this list a joke

I've not seen Rounders.  Must give it a go.

ACES FULL!

Can't beleive the Hustler hasn't been mentioned either.

ascii - do it.

I have 2 dvd's. I'll send you one up.

It is a must watch.

Great flick rounders is. You'll enjoy it.

The Hustler and The Color of Money.

rain man

rounders is excellent btw

Tzameti(13) is the greatest movie to feature gambling of all time.Nothing captures the despair of peoples greed for money quite like this film.Go rent or buy it now.

the sting would be my favourite on the list, be one of my favourite films ever anyway

give the cincinnati kid a mention also

Rounders sequel out in 2012. Matt Damon, Edward Norton both return. Same director.

I've often seen these people, these squares at the table, short stack and long odds against them. All their outs gone. One last card in the deck that can help them. I used to wonder how they could let themselves get into such bad shape, and how the hell they thought they could turn it around. Now I'm them.

I watched Rounders just 2 nights ago on You Tube... look and see if it is still there, 12 editions.

Here's #1 Enjoy!

Oh christ, is Matt Damon in Rounders.  That's put me off.

can't believe you missed Two for the Money with Al Pacino
especcially when it's for sports betting

what about 21??

21

thought it could have been better

love kate bosworth though

Watching Rounders on Youtube now haha. "ACES FUUUL MIKE!"

Gonna watch that Rounders now never heard of it thanks CC

Casino

Traders of the lost ark

someone 'heard' about THE DEER HUNTER from 1978; Robert de Niro & Co
and the Vietkong...

21

trading places

Lucky number Slevin... sort of

The Grand - Poker Film

House of Games - cracking film

Gambling, conmen, with plenty of cheating

Coachbuster

Traders of the lost arb

surely ;-)

the sting, featuring bruce grobellar

Zatoichi another shocking omission,very relevant to the people who frequent this forum,as it features a blind gambler.

Two for the money... that is really about gambling

'Two for the money' staring Al Pacino, none the less, is relatively unknown, but very good gambling film................. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417217/

Cool Hand Luke is a shocking omission

NO-ONE CAN EAT 50 EGGS !!!!

oceans 11 on sky 1 (not movies) tonight btw

im with daveedward, casino is great

"i don't believe it"...LET IT RIDE...is by far the best !

the 2 best =LET IT RIDE  and the daddy of them all .
the great australian bookie robbery .

Just watched that film Rounders, was obvious what was going to happen in the end but a good film

This is a complete farce.

This thread has managed to get to the second page without Rainman being mentioned. Does anyone know the correct channels in getting a thread removed please?

HARD EIGHT IS A GOOD FILM

around the world in 80 days

Debbie Does Dallas another shocking omission,imagine the exposure these guys had going in raw.

Ok its not a film but just a tv series, Big Deal. It was an excellent London based gambling series in the 80s featuring Ray Brooks, Series 1 is available to buy on Amazon but series 2 is apparently never coming out. If anyone has series 2 and can get me a copy of it, I would really appreciate it, mick1977_2000 at yahoo.com

the cooler
murphys stroke
casino
the hustler
a big hand for a little lady

that quote from Rounders,"...Now I'm them" is stunning. I'm watching this film on the strength of that alone. Which of us, when well ahead, has not pitied the losers who just hand us their money ...only to later find ourselves "them" again.

rounders brilliant love kgb if i vant to splash the fukkin pot i will.

Guys and dolls marlon brando and frankie

the cincinatti kid has to be in the top three

Anyone remember the film

"Flipside of Domonid Hide (hyde) !!

Flame of the Barbary Coast

Mississippi gambler

Hangover

LET IT RIDE  every punters dream day at the races

The Flipside Of Dominick Hide / Another Flip For Dominick [1980/82] [DVD] [1970]

escape to victory

California Split a staggering omission
