favorite poker movie

Most folks just know "rounders", but as I mentioned in another post "Cincinatti Kid" with Steve McQueen as the Kid and Edward G Robinson as Lancey - the man is truly a classic.
What are some other great poker films? There must be more.

I've lead loads of reviews of Rounders and everyone seems to like it. I gotta see that movie sometime.

My personal favourite is teenage dorm strip poker IV

I remember the scene in Leaving Las Vegas when Nicholas Cage loses his shirt with a Jack high straight flush to a James Caan's Queen high straight flush. That would suck!

I am going to just say the cliche now

but I still LOVE rounders

what about secrets of no limit holdem and more secrets og no limit holdem?

secrets of no limit holdem, are jokes for a movie. maybe if your going to kill yourself, you might put it on.

Rounders by far, best ever

Maverick with Mel Gibson? It's no Rounders ...but it's pretty good.

I've seen Maverick and Rounders and a couple others, but Rounders is the movie that actually got me playing NLHE, so... Rounders it is.

I'm glad you like my work

lol i was gonna say rounders and it turns out weve all seen it

....I think we can all agree that Rounders is the holy grail of poker movies...?

Yawn,

/me says hi to Feb 2005

lol

Rounders is the best.

But if you want a quirky indy movie, look for "The Big Blind". It has Scotty Nguyen and Jennifer Harman in it. It's not that good of a movie, but it's about poker!

I went to see Rounders as a fan of Edward Norton, and I left loving poker.

I think the second best movie is Maverick.

There just aren't a lot of movies out there about poker.

Rounders is the best and Maverick is good but its so so lame, it was ovious that he was going to hit a royal flush before the cards were dealt, at least in rounder he beats Teddy at the end with a 10 high straight.

yeah. .. but he didn't look at his cards! lol

That was a joke right?

Shade was another good movie, it was more about the cheating then the poker though.

lol @ nick . . nice one! lol

Well, I won't say what my favorite movie is, because if you know where my signature comes from it's pretty obvious...

Great scene from The Odd Couple:

Oscar: 'What for? I'm gonna bluff anyway.'

gremlins>...?

apparently theres a scene in gremlins where they play poker in a bar!

Hmmmm...I don't remember that.....but Howie Mandel was great doing the voice of Gizmo!
