What is your favorite gambling movie?

What is your favorite film that revolves around gambling?  A few notable movies come to mind that I enjoy: Casino, Rounders, and 21 are probably my three favorite with Casino being my top pick.  Mainly because Deniro is such a great actor and it shows how corrupt Vegas casinos really used to be.

I love Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels gambling scene. Well, it isn't a gambling movie but kinda revolves around it especially when they apply their luck and get into a fantasy mess. I agree with the Deniro being a great actor part!

I hope more will share so I can use this thread as a reference on the movies that I'm going to watch.
Admit it, it's fun to watch a gambling related movies because we are a real gambler, in a movie we learn something and it also inspires us.
One movie I remember I have watch was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gambler_(2014_film), it's a great movie, Mark here is a real gambler who YOLO in the end if I remembered it right.

There is one gambling movie I really love and I will never forget, 21.

I remember this movie all over again when it comes to gambling movies. When I saw it once on the Television, I immediately downloaded it and watch again and again and all over again. It is just great since I can relate with Ben Campbell working on his finances as a student, it is really hard to work on that, I can assure you that. It is like a student dream to be able to earn that huge amount of money in just a several nights. Some movies that I love that is not entirely about gambling but have some gambling moments are The Hangover and Focus by none other than, Will Smith.

I haven't seen many of them but I have seen Casino Royale and I think everybody else have also watched it. It is a beautiful movie but I will take reason from this post to go and check gambling movies list in the Internet. I also remember that Chinese movies regarding gambling are some of the best but a bit difficult to find them easily on the Internet. For the moment my favourite is Casino Royale but only for the moment.

I watched one movie before, it's quite an old movie related to gambling and that was a Chinese film. I barely remember the title of that movie but it seems the protagonist is facing the leader of a big gambling syndicate.

The main cast's character has a very charming and very lucky in gambling. I forgot that title but its one of the movies that I like because it has some comedy in it.

Well there is this two movies I've watched but it don't really revolve around gambling since it is just a part of the movie. That movie is the Hang Over, the first one of the three series. There is this part where Alan is gambling for completing the money they needed using the book that he read. It is amazing but for me, if that happened to me, that is a dream come true since that is not really true.

I haven't watched many movies which are only about gambling, so I can't name whis is best. I watched movies like Casino Royale, The Gambler, Lay the favourite or Maverick, but I can't say that any of these movies would stuck in my mind, maybe because I'm not gambler. Now I opened list of gambling related movies, maybe it's worth to try watch something.

[coolcoinz]

The movie that I always think about when someone asks about gambling flicks is of Casino Royale, just because it was so good, but I also can recommend 21 if you haven't seen it. I liked Kevin Spacey ever since I saw him in The Usual Suspects. His role in 21 is definitely not a disappointment and the whole movie is action packed so you won't be bored. I've always been fascinated by card counting which made this movie even more enjoyable.

My favorite one is 'Molly's Game'. It's a high-rated and Oscar-nominated movie from last year about poker games. I have a friend who's really into poker, and he also enjoyed watching it. The movie is not focused on poker, though, but rather on trying to earn money on organizing poker games, but it's still nice and has lessons for gamblers as well. For instance, it shows that even the best player can lose if he/she doesn't 'crack' the strategy of the opponent. I am sure that decades from now this movie will be classic when the topic of gambling is discussed.

I can not remember many. I watch a lot of movies and most of the times I really don't remember the names.

- Ocean's Eleven
- 21
- Casino Royal
- Molly's Game

I have one more in mind which I found very entertaining.

- Now You See Me
- Now You See Me 2

These two are not like traditional gambling type but more of based on Magic.

I don't know if you call it a gambling movie but one of the best that I watched is Bugsy by Warren Beatty and Annette Bening. It was released in 1991. Movie is about Bugsy Siegel and how the Flamingo Casino resort started. It also shows gangsters like Lucky Luciano and Mayer Lansky. Movie portrays how casinos in Las Vegas started.

[kenzawak]

Some good ones are Rounders, Rain Man, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Casino and more recently Mississipi Grind.

Molly's game as well for me. As much as I like the movie Casino with Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone and co. it's not really a movie about gambling. Molly's game is pretty realistic, you can get very rich in this field if you manage to become an agent.

Another movie which is pretty realistic is Runner Runner, takes place in Costa Rica, mafia involved, not a great movie per se but interesting with a lot of truth inside.

Molly's game is not really a "gambling" movie to be honest, the main premise is the woman not the game. Gambling movies have that sort of trouble to begin with, they do not provide you gambling as the main plot of the movie, they just make it a part of the movie.

If you watch it closely you will see that its about her and not the poker game she runs, it goes on to Russian mafia and all that very quickly and not really focus on the game after a while. All "gambling" movies are based on a story and not the gambling aspect directly.

All ocean movies are about stealing, 21 is not about blackjack but a young persons life troubles, Gambler is about a carefree dude getting out of debt, runner runner is about Justin Timberlake getting out of a shady casino world and many more examples. I haven't seen a proper "gambling" movie that focuses on gambling more than any other plot.

Ok, it depends on which side you are looking at things, on the side of "the house" I think Molly's game is interesting and realistic. On the side of the players, you are right, it is not the most appropriate suggestion. 100% correct about Ocean's 11, not even sure why this movie was suggested in the first place (and it is very very average if you ask me ).

Casino Royale,which is the most favourite movie for me which looks very detailed about the casinos.And there are some movie casino in my local languages which give pretty information about cheating involves in casinos between the players.

[Oceat]

Rounders and 21 are the best movie that I like the most, though the story is quite a bit different they do have similarities in some of the plot of the story. It tells you that playing in gambling can make you lose all of your money if you get addicted to it. Even if you cheat, gambling owners know already their weaknesses. So do not ever try to cheat on them, you will be caught.
