Let it Ride was a hoot, but it wasn't really a gambling movie. "Stuffy, Rat-Bastids!"
The Gambler, with James Caan is tops on my list.
I love the cheese-ball movie, with Kenny Rogers, too. It was not really a gambling movie, either, but I loved the scene when Rogers' character was playing cards on the train with "Doc".
The Dr doesn't want to call him, but the train owner is fronting the money, and thinks Hawks is bluffing, so he calls the bet. Shoving the money into the pot, he says, "Play out the hand....it's my money!"
Hawks states, "Nope............It's my money." As he lays down the straight flush!
Sweet!

Rounders is great, also like Diggstown with James Woods and Louis Gossett, Jr, & Bruce Dern.
This was alot like The Sting also, great flick for gambling, running con, and boxing scenes pretty realistic.
Good flick

Rolled over aces over kings!!!!! In the game of life women are the f*#cking rake.
ROUNDERS IS THE BEST NO QUESTION ABOUT IT

Rounders was pretty good. I also liked The Runner. The gambling quircks and superstitions were funny.
yyz - you had it right. I think the best gambling movie was not surprisingly "The Gambler", based on the novel by famous Russian Existentialist Fyodor Dostoevsky, himself an addicted gambler. James Caan was great in this one. I would love to see this one again, but can't seem to find it on video. #2 would have to be the original version, "The Hustler", with Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason as 'Minnesota Fats." George C. Scott also great in this one.
my fav. is Diggstown as well.........best line ever in it when Woods goes never con a con man, especially when he is better than you are........
You youngsters out there,Cincy is and will always BE THE ONE !!!! Acast like that, the play = THE BEST of ALL TIME, a bloddy classic..
