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.

I enjoyed watching Rounders. I know it has some serious flaws, but I think it accomplished what it was trying to accomplish, and as long as you are willing to not take certain parts of it too seriously, what exactly is the problem really?
