im not sure if i have a favorite, i always liked rounders and the color of money, poolhall junkies is another good one, just saw double down also known as zigs (I think from the same people who made poolhall junkies but i could be wrong) thought it was the best gambling based comedy i have seen. whats your favorite?

I liked the one based on Brandon Lang.  I forget the name.  Also liked Rounders, and that one based on that college kid at ASU who ended up buying off a player.........

Has anyone seen the poker movie with Woody Harrelson in it, I think the name of it is "the grand"??  Just curious, I was thinking of renting it.

Rounders
The Gambler

btw I hated Pool Junkies - just a bunch of neophytes banging the shit out of balls. Someone needs to make a decent pool movie or documentary for people who are fans of pool and billiards.

Let It Ride may not be the BEST gambling movie BUT it's definately the FUNNIEST
 
I always thought they should have made a sequel where Trotter and Looney come to Las Vegas for a football weekend

Know what other one i liked but others did not?

The Longshot with Harvey Korman and Tim Conway...to me that movie was hilarious


also I dont know if you consider it a gambling movie but Wiseguys with Danny Devito and Joe Piscopo..the track scene in that was one of the funniest scenes of all time

Rounders and I also like Diggstown.  I guess it could be categorized as a gambling flick.

Caddyshack has to be the funniest . Rodney knows how to press the bet and pressure his opponent with the best of 'em .
