BarryRunSome Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I've never ever seen a good gambling movie. They are all terrible with the exception of that one horse movie. Guy turned 5 bucks into like 300K. And it was only good because it was funny. The one where Ben affleck was the offshore operator was the biggest pile of shit, I've ever laid eyes on. They all suck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all Suck I wouldn't argue with your limited scope of examples, but you need to open up a bit and expand your cinematic knowledge. It's also hard to compare a narrative to a documentary. 1973 and 1974 gave film arguably it's two greatest gambling films and characters laying the odds. And 2015 gave us a real good indie gambling film. Robert Altman's class, "California Spit." Elliot Gould nailed his roles as Charlie Walters in humor and the mentality of a gambler. Trailerhttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B0041Y3VRU/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_gbo-wb0XJR24C Scenehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kr4cLdvtZ0 The original, "The Gambler" from 1973 Sweating a game in the bathtub scenehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4FTkkqza7o And who doesn't like a road trip gambling film? Who doesn't like a broke guy making a large wager on Gonzaga using credit in a restroom? Mississippi Grind Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ooca5idaNSk I also like Rounders, The Hustler, The Color of Money, and The Cooler. Hard Eight and The Sting may not be straight forward gambling films, but they are well made too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
