Best Gambling movie EVER!!!
The Nominees are:
The Hustler - Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason and George C. Scott. A timeless classic and great Newman performance. The legend of Minnesota Fats is born. This is in B+W but this is great film making.
The Cincinatti Kid - Edgar G. Robinson and Steve McQueen Great movie about preholdem high stakes poker.
The Sting - Paul Newman and Robert Redford - This movie is just pure movie making fun about the art of the con and Newman and Redford shine in this one.
The Color of Money - Paul Newman and Tom Cruise - Sequel to the Hustler by Scorsese. Newman gives another great performance.
Rounders - The movie that helped start the poker boom. One of the most rewatchable movies I have ever seen.
Honerable Mention - Poolhall Junkies - Really good movie with Rod Steiger with a small role.
