Rounders would be my favorite hands down.
He said poker movies.... these are movies that have a very loose and small connection to poker, if at all...21, Bookies, Bugsy, California Split, Casino Royale, Casino, Croupier, High Roller, House of games, Oceans 13, Oceans 11, Oceans 12, The Cooler, The Grand, The Sting. And THE COLOR OF MONEY is the Pool Hall Movie. Some are very old but are all great movies.

There is no poker in Oceans films (a little blackjack)...and most of the other films have 1 hand or 5 mins of poker, they arent poker films..
Surprised you didnt mention Wierd Science, has more poker in it than Oceans films..

The Cincinatti Kid is best
Actually, there's a short poker scene early on in Oceans Eleven where Rusty is teaching poker to the Hollywood kids - then Danny sits in and delivers one of the best slowroll lines ever ("I'm not sure what four nines does, but the ace, I think, is pretty high?"). IIRC there's some short poker scenes in Oceans Thirteen too.
Agree absolutely though, they're hardly "poker movies". If we were judging by those standards, then Poseidon and In Time would be poker movies too
So glad no one has mentioned "Shade." That movie makes me angry. Violently angry.
You need to read the posts then
My bad. lol. jlabruno's post wasn't there when I was going to post, but got caught up with work before submitting and his post squeezed in there.
Dunno how any poker player can like that movie. The way they play poker in that movie is so absurd it makes me angry.
