better gambling movie?

this has probably been done a thousand times but I wanted to know anyway? Was rounders the best pure gambling movie any made? IS there a better one?

Poolhall Junkies was a pretty good Gambling/Hustling Movie.

Ed Norton's career down the toilet? It's not like he's doing direct to DVD movies. Shit, he was just in the Hulk last year.

ed norton is only on the rise imo....

Edward Norton always took on such vivid and gripping roles in movies like:  Primal Fear, American History X, Fight Club, and the Illusionist!  Then he does $hit roles like:  Death to Smoochy, Pride and Glory and the Hulk.  I think his career is on the downslide but he is still a great actor.

My favorite movie about gambling is Maverick.  Sure it isn't just about gambling but it plays an important role.  Rounders is also towards the top.

What about Let It Ride with Richard Dreyfuss. Great comedy about "letting it ride."

Maverick

The Hustler

The Sting

Rounders

Let It Ride

Big Shot: confessions of a campus bookie was pretty good

Rounders is still #1

nothing beats the hustler

color of money wasnt bad either

I just saw The Hustler for the first time. I thought Newman, Gleason and George C Scott turned in awesome acting performances but the movie I thought was a bit of a downer. I did love Color of Money though.

Death to Smoochy is a great movie! admit it
On the subject: The Cincinatti Kid

Owning Mahowney with Phiilip Seymore Hoffman is brilliant!!!

everytime a thread on this subject is posted no one mentions Robert Altman's California Split with George Segal and Elliot Gould. it's still one of the BEST "degenerate gambler" comedy-dramas EVER.

it's my second fav right after Let It Ride.

check out "Croupier" - a british flick about a card deal trying to steal from the house.

Owning Mahowny        awesome movie

All good movies listed

Vig aka Money Kings was good also

The Gambler is  #1 in my book. Also loved Let it ride. Hard  Eight is another pretty good movie about a pair of degenerate gamblers.

Rounders is a good gambling movie like Twilight is a good vampire flick....  It's how you tell the suckers at the poker table - they're all quoting Rounders. 

Check out Owning Mahoney or The Cincinnati Kid.

 

that is my fav

 

the cooler is excellent also...

 

and bad lieutenant has a gambling undertone throughut the story
