Rounders is a given. Runner Runner is ok although it is discouraging to the online community. My favorite poker movie is probably The Grand. Quite the humorous take on poker. If you have a decent sense of humor it's right up your alley. Hosts an all-star cast (Woody Harrelson, Ray Romano, David Cross, Cheryl Hines to name some) along w/poker pros like Doyle, Helmuth, Phil Laak, and more. It highlights the poker-boom scene w/a jab at the online poker community which is represented by actors Chris Parnell and Richard Kind who locks in his seat to an exclusive poker tournament (named after the movies' title) w/a win from an online satellite, reminiscent of Chris Moneymaker's run. If you find any strategic idioms in this flick then you're focusing too hard in between the laughs. If you decide to check it out please take it for what it's worth which is pure entertainment. Enjoy! :hello: :laugh:

Definitely one of the best I've seen about poker is Rounders (1998) with Matt Damon. The whole story and the course of the action were top-notch and enjoyed watching such a masterpiece by director John Dahl who is maestral. Great topic, I'll look at other posts on this topic too! All the best!
