Poker Movies

Best Poker Movie

I would have to say Rounders! I mean Matt Damon and Edward Norton in a movie should be enough said! I just love watching it every time its on T.V. What is yours?

Not really a lot of option to choose from. lol

I'm gonna have to go with rounders also, however lately when I watch it theres little things that annoy me...like when damon and kgb are playing HU at the end and damon raises 20x with KK. I lol every time

The Grand

I think is "All-in". It is a very impressive movie and is the first movie I watched about poker. At that time i dont actually play poker.

In my (unpopular) opinion it's Lucky You - but maybe I'm biased because it stars an Australian.

Either way I liked the (apparently) realistic portrayal of the Vegas poker scene and the degens that inhabit it. And the Drew Barrymore stuff didn't bother me as much as it seems to bother most other people.

Rounders obv, but Lucky You is fun for playing spot the cameo. There's a very long list of them.

Hollywood doesn't really do the game any justice.

Ya, Lucky You isnt far behind. I like that movie was well. I just like Rounders more because its more manly lol

Rounders would be my first choice.. Maverick would be my second.

Shade isn't a bad movie. I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it. Although its less about poker or more about mechanical dealers.

Someone ask four dogs what his favourite poker movie is.

james bond casino royale, x men origins: wolverine because daniel negreanus in it LOL

cant say ive gone crazy about any poker movie but rounders is probably the best one out there. there is definitely a need for more poker movies to be made. example the life of chris money maker or some kind of true story like that.

True that, that would be awesome or maybe when Doyle Brunson dies (knock on wood). Someday hopefully we will have a poker movie based on a real poker pro.

I like more all the documentary movies, but also Rounders and Casino Royale.

I have the odds queued on Netflix and it looks like it might be good. Oh and breaking Vegas was an interesting documentary.

yes as mentioned all before. rounders,luck you and maverik are all great poker movies with rounders taking the top for shure.
But noone has mentioned one of a kind the stu unger story.
To me it was a great movie about one of the best card players to ever had held a card in there hand.

Rounders is really the only one i have seen, didnt know there was really anymore xD

I was surprised as i was scrolling down that noone had mentioned the Stu Ungar documentary but left52side covered that for me. Thumbs up

Perfect poker parody. Great movie for anybody who has followed poker long enough to get the inside jokes.

Casino Royale.

What? It totally counts.

For a realistic movie the best is Casino Royale, for dramatized poker the best is Rounders.

/sarcasm

Shout out for The Cincinnati Kid. Great final hand and the ending is just too good. Rounders was a great movie but I always wonder what happened to his character after he gets into the cab at the end of the movie with his stacks of high society to strike it rich in the wsop...

lol "ben what are you still doin here?! jennifer garners waiting for you at home." matt acted better in the movie. Haha

Yeah, I like it too, I'd have to say Rounders is "one" of the best!
