What poker movies to watch?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's a fan of Lucky you.

Ah, easy question lol. Rounders of course. A complete story of all aspects of gamblers life.. :icon_sunn

Rounders is my #1 choice, it actually got me interested in playing more than strip poker,lol

BEST POKER MOVIE

BEST POKER MOVIE........THE ONE ABOUT STU UNGER.....AND ROUNDERS LOL

Yonkers Joe
The Five Are Marching In
Trinity is Still My Name!
Shade

I'm probably biased here because when I started playing home games, small game mind you, which makes it worst because everyone knows everyone we had what they call a mechanic. A mechanic can basically rig the deck to his liking. The movie shade has this whole theme about it. One of my favorite quotes from a movie they were playing 5 card draw. Jamie Fox says to the villain, I've only had four girlfriends my whole life and they allve been tens. The next guy was they all must of been screwin a guy named jack.

I liked Lucky u,Shade and Stu Ungar story and rounders of course also.

rounders,

and the best scene, when the villain is playing hu damon and his movements were easily read when eating oreo,

Without a doubt, I have to go with Rounders..... Just my choice

Rounders is my pick

The Notebook

to me, best poker movie is rounders. Maverick ( starring mel gibson) is also great

Here you have a good list of movies..

http://www.imdb.com/list/ls050205482/

some of them are really good...

A Big Hand for the Little Lady

The film stars Henry Fonda, Joanne Woodward, Paul Ford, and Jason Robards, with Charles Bickford, Burgess Meredith, Kevin McCarthy, Robert Middleton, and John Qualen.

The five richest men in the territory gather in Laredo for their annual high-stakes poker game. The high rollers let nothing get in the way of their yearly showdown. When undertaker Tropp calls for them in his horse-drawn hearse, cattleman Henry Drummond forces a postponement of his daughter's wedding, while lawyer Otto Habershaw abandons his closing arguments in a trial, with his client's life hanging in the balance. They are joined by Wilcox and Buford in the back room of Sam's saloon, while the curious gather outside for occasional reports.

Settlers Meredith, his wife Mary, and their young son Jackie are passing through, on their way to purchase a farm near San Antonio, when a wheel on their wagon breaks. They wait at Sam's while the local blacksmith repairs it. Meredith, a recovering gambler, learns of the big poker game and begins to feel the excitement once again.....

Joanne Woodward was nominated for the Golden Laurel Award for Female Comedy Performance

haha , that was funny.. The Micros: Episode 1 ..very good animation...

I would also suggest Lucky You and All In.

So I followed this thread's advice and watched Runner Runner and i was really disappointed because I thought that 'd be getting a movie about poker but apart from the opening scene when Justin Timberlake's character dabbled in a short stint of online poker (maybe 2 minute screen time tops), it was just a ordinary movie nothing to distinguish it as a poker movie apart from odd references to poker in it periodically, might as well they said BINGO, the synopsis would be the same..............So if any one else mentions Runner Runner i'm gonna have a fit....

Maverick, Cincinnati Kid, Deal, A Big Hand for the Little Lady & more casino then Poker, Oceans 11 is fun.

Maverick / Gibson + Garner in the same Movie. that s great

i never knew there was so much poker movies gotta check them out. maverick and the bond movie aren't poker movies. im sure any bond movie isnt a poker movie

Favorite Poker Movie

I really like BET RAISE FOLD - great documentary on online poker. It's one of those movies that every poker player should see. Check it out here; http://goo.gl/uU83K2

I think luck is one of the best poker movies.

The story of the movie "Deal" is good. It is a good movie
