Best Gambling Movie

[socks435]

I forgot the best gambler movie before how about the series of god of gamblers i always watching this movie translated to my language that honestly there is a little comedy and fun movie..

Besides those movies, I also want to recommend an Anime based on gambling. I recommend Kaiji, it is an anime that deals with gambling, psychology, society. It depicts how people become when they are addicted to gambling. It is really awesome. You should watch it. It has even moral lessons and can teach you lots of stuff about psychology and manipulation.

Good idea i would like to watch a anime version looks interesting let me try to watch this if i had a time..

i don't have any idea about this anime but thanks mate for sharing this looks like it will also enhance something inside of us, gambling is also
a mind games with your present of minds and a lots of time to think wisely for sure you can take advantage and from those movies some of
it are based on real scenario's inside gambling activity.

As you explain about gambling's movies, i think you have enough knowledge about movies of gamble.
Also i like these type of movies, but several times i watch Casino Royal, it is my most favorite movie because in it, i like my hero James band.
But in gambling all movies are good, because these type of movies give the people suspense, excitement and tricks how to play gambling.

Unfortunately the good story about play gambling games( get big betting, to be rich people in one night) will never be practice on the real gambling games, that is just on the movies and the movies of gambling games are very very entertainment, personality i like the gambling movies from China but the OP doesn't add them on this pool.

well for me the best gambling movie is casino royale where james bond is so awesome but all in all in the list that you've put that movies are all great and amazing. the reason why im watching gambling movies because they're teaching me on how to be responsible on the decision i've made and teaching me how to take a risk to get a good return.

Casino Royale is not complete only casino based movie. It is an action movie, and in this movie, i don't find any techniques how to win money in the casino. The gambling is the just base of this movie, but we have other movies only based on gambling techniques for example 21 and Ocean's Eleven here if you watch with full interest you can find many techniques how to build a good strategy with a group of people.

21 for me was a great, solid casino movie. nice storyline, great actors and believable plot

Don't enjoy watching gambling movies personally but if I had to choose from the lot in the poll, Casino Royal would be my pick.

A 007 thriller with the villain being a master class poker player, Bond makes it through and ultimately wins. The sheer scenes at the poker table, the hands, everything seems to be perfected for a nice viewer experience.

A lot of Hollywood here, but I think the Hong Kong movies like God of Gamblers that launched Chow Yun Fat deserve mention.

For me, British film from the 90s has a number of good movies. Lock, Stock (poker) and Snatch (bookies) come to mind immediately - British films have a simple premise: intense fun, gritty and witty scripts.

If you like Clive Owen, there's an indie noir-like film called Croupier that made him really famous... you know the Dick Tracy style monologue. It's my kind of slow burn, and is all about the casino lifestyle. Very realistic, fantastic.

You are the first one who wrote about 'Lock, Stock and 2 smoking barrels' in this thread! That's what I wanted to write about as well. I was surprised nobody mentioned it before. This film is particularly good, because it shows that even a really good player may end up losing everything. At that time is was all about gangsters who deceived him but the same holds for our times in a modified version. From time to time we see the news about different scams and sometimes it is the fact that the website actually know what cards you got and thus doesn't allow you to win.

I guess non-Hollywood movies simply get overlooked because of the way success or popularity is measured (box office returns, usually). Of course that itself is a criticism of movies like Lock and Snatch - they cannot appeal to a lot of people. As much as I like them, even I have to make an effort to decipher their accents, esp with the "gangster" lingo!

I also have watch Casino Royale but could not understand the gambling part of that movie. In my list I always love Oscen's eleven as a best gambling based movie. It is a movie about robbing out a casino. A team works in smart way to achieve that robbery successfully. A really nice move to entertain ourselves.

Nice. Thanks for sharing is it on English though? Will try to find and watch this movie.

I really like the James Bond movie though, I think they should have given awards for opening the gambling world to the gambling. LOL. As I see it, they are really a big influence specially the casino's which boom around 60's-70's up to today. So the James Bond movie had really a big impact like poker roulette and baccarat. I will also find non-Hollywood movie and see what I can find out.

There is a movie I've watched named "The Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief". There is a part in the movie that they've been to a casino and stayed there for days. It is one of the best explanation or describing gambling but as for the movie there is somewhat supernatural thought there. But if you look and analyze it more clearly that's how casino is. You have been lured and it is really hard for you to get away from gambling because of entertainment it gives you for fun.

If you're a poker player then watch rounders but if you're a blackjack player watch 21. Both are really good movies.

[Crenguta Pintilie]

my favorites ones are.

 Ocean's Eleven
 Runner Runner
 21
 King Of Gamblers

[Barbut]

Good movies, I like Casino Royal and 21,King of Gamblers. There is couple movies on this list that I didn't watch, tonight I will watch Runner Runner, I heard about it long time ago and now again.
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas is not gambling movie, its everything else except gambling. I don't have nothing against it, good movie if you like drugs, music, and Jonny Dep.
The Gambler, novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is better then movies about gambling. Is there some other gambling book like this one?

King of Gamblers ? I am yet to check it. 
I loved Casino Royale but I have not considered it a gambling movie. It was more of an action movie rather it was an gambling based movie. There are few scenes that have been taken in casino but nothing related to gambling. The only thing that I learn was having confidence and trying to read others mind.

Oh, come on!--> Nobody's seen the "The Cincinnati Kid" around here? Steve McQueen? Ann-Margret?
