The sting?
Cincinnati Kid?

Might have been good movies in their time but don't touch the cinematic experience Scorsese brings you on in Casino.

Both The Gambler's are weak with anti climatic endings.

While it is only Loosely based on actual facts, some scenes in casino, like when Ace Rothstein challenges Harry Reid at a senate hearing, make this movie even more enjoyable to watch. Knowing that some of these things actually happened in the middle of the desert back in the day make this one of the most compelling gambling movies of our generation.
Not Abe's generation,
That's more like The Immigrant
