Poker movies!

I know, this may seem like an uninteresting topic and the internet is probably full of sites with lists like "the 10 best poker movies (the seventh will surprise you)". But besides poker, chess and puzzles, I love movies. So I open this thread hoping to receive some recommendations on movies related to poker or card games. Notice that I have already seen "21 blackjack" and "Rounders". About the latter, I saw her a long time ago but if I remember correctly (SPOILERS), the tell that Matt Damon discovered in the villain and let him know when he was making a bluff, was it that the man ate a cookie? Actually, the moment I saw her I found this quite stupid. Was the man really going to be so obvious? But maybe I didn't understand it or I don't remember it well. Well, I await your recommendations!

Hello.
One year ago, I watched a movie "Molly's Game".
Interesting movie but only for one-time viewing.

Thank you! I think that solves the problem

I advise you to see the movie Molly's Game and the Kid of Cyncinati. Of course, he has a cult poker scene in movies that have nothing to do with poker.

like Trinity - Poker scene

or The Sting - poker game

I think that the main problem with poker-related films, is that because it's so hard to film the action of playing poker in a visually-interesting films, these films only show dramatic hands, like a royal and straight credibility, which hurts the film's credibility. How many royal flushes have you had in your poker-playing life? In cinema, this is commonplace.

I like Cincinnati Kid

I watched "Lucky", "Bluff", "Shuler", "Mavarik", "King of Poker".
And you know that a film about poker players is being shot at the wsop 2019. Last year, Sandra More released a book called “The Black Widow of Poker” under the pseudonym Sia Leith before the world series of poker. The work was dedicated to girls playing poker.In the same year, Mor conceived another project. The girl is filming the documentary "Queen of Poker". The film will allow you to look at the world of poker game through the eyes of girls. In her film, several famous poker players will appear. In addition, the girls themselves will shoot their game at the WSOP. Mor has given cameras to everyone, so that viewers will be able to see the girls' path to the WSOP bracelets in the first person.Sandra More promises that in the next film we will see poker stars such as Maria Ho, Kristen Bicknell, Liv Boeri and many others. Part of the picture will be shot in a hotel room where girls will live. The premiere will take place in November 2019.

There was supposed to be a tv show about a group of poker player called “the four kings” I’m not sure if it has a release date or it was canceled

Mollys Game is an amazing movie even if you know nothing about poker. Its in my top 10 all time.

Agreed, enjoyable for a weekend movie - once. The book was much much better.

Favorite is rounders but I haven't seen many more lol Molly's game was pretty good.

I want to see Cincinnati Kid bad

I looked up a top 10 list and was gonna watch them all but I can't find them online and I'm broke lol

The Sting is good because the actors are top class. Revealing the shocking fact that poker can be rigged is what makes it even better.
the final hand in rounders is something we'd all like to pull off.

Once upon a time I watched the film Maverick. I didn’t play poker then. I liked the movie.

Hello! I already watch the movie you are talking about here and me too i had the same reaction when the man he eats cookie i think he had the best hand i don't remember it too
in the end of the film he fold AA and he was wining the tournament right ???!!(he fold the best hand )

I think the worst poker-related film that I've ever seen is Shade, which starred Sylvester Stallone. Like so many poker-related films, Shade was full of tired cliches and is completely unbelievable. There are several scenes in which players get royal flushes, four of a kind, straight flushes, which is a substitute for the creation of character development and suspense.

There are several films about poker that I can recommend to you.
Maverick
The Cincinnati Kid
Rounders
Shade
Lucky You

I recall the Sting, Maverick and Cincinnati Kid.
I like the movies like 'Casino Royale' with Daniel Craig and new Ocean's.
There is also the movie Runner, Runner with Ben,Justin and Gemma.
Oh, and 'Havana' with Robert Redford.

De todos esses filmes eu só vi Rounders, alguns filmes são bem recomendados eu vou assistir.
