I believe a few members rate 'Molly's Game' as the best poker related movie ever- it has been discussed before but bears mentioning again.

I think many poker movies whilst entertaining are often too contrived and this would range from Bond movies to Rounders. I noted before I had the 10th anniversary edition of Rounders on my computer for some years but then deleted it. It's an entertaining rip the first time or two you watch it but then it does not hold up - the poker scenes and plot lines are somewhat ridiculous and even the acting looks hammy after a few screenings.

If you want to watch something cool about poker then one Finnish member of Cards Chat, Hutzpaf, linked through to a Finnish documentary series (English subtitles) largely based around Patrik Antonius. It called Last Call and has four episodes. It was truly excellent and several members watched the entire series and raved about it. There is a second series scheduled for the fall.

Here is the second episode which features Patrik Antonius and is a deeper dive into Patrik Antonius life, his beginnings and then success in poker than you have seen anywhere else.

Very good movie 'cincinaty Kid' unexpected ending too. A lesson to win and lose. 🤘

For some reason, i didn't really like the movie. Because there was little about the poker itself. I like 2 very old films more:

1.) "Cincinnati Kid"

2.) "A Big Hand for the Little Lady"

All rigth. This is a good contribution. Let's watch the documentary. I saw many documentaries listed on YouTube and I don't know where to start. I not to much related to Patrik Antonius. Let's see his story.

movie that I found very good is 007 casino royale, despite being an action-focused movie, the poker scenes are very good

Recently, this topic has been discussed and the best thing is that I saw some of the films given thanks to it. In general, it is possible to watch, but they are more stories about the ups and downs of the main characters, and poker is shown in them after a few vicissitudes, usually as a positive final aspect.

Hello community just passing to share with you a poker movie that I watched I few days ago.

Molly's Game is a 2017 American biographical crime drama film

It focuses on the life of Molly Bloom, a world-class skier who became a millionaire before the age of 21. After missing the Olympics, Molly moved to live in Los Angeles, where she even worked as a waitress. Thanks to her intelligence and entrepreneurial skills, the young woman ended up earning millions of dollars in the world of poker before the FBI investigated her.
does this movie help improve your poker game or understanding of poker

I don't think so. That the movie improve my knowledge or teach me something about the game. But. What it really does. is to gave me the curiousity to live that kind of private tourney at least a few.

I actually didn't mind Molly's Game also, had a different angle/side than the other poker movies.

Hello, I saw this movie Pokerfaces (1998), the best poker movie, exciting content. I could watch it several times. it's amazing that they play for a living day and night. great movie. the guy risks quite a lot in it. I recommend every poker player to watch it at least once!

I saw this movie and I think it's not really about poker. There is not much poker space available here. The movie itself is good.

I can't find any related title. Pokerfaces (1998). Do you have a trailer or a link with movie info or where to find it?

1.) "Cincinnati Kid"

2.) "A Big Hand for the Little Lady"
They are both excellent movies, with some of the most recognizable leading and character actors of that era. A Big Hand For The Little Lady is my favorite of the two because I love those movies where someone gets vengeance by fleecing the person who wronged them. :)
