    Quick Gambling Movie Advice
    Looking to see a movie online but dont know which to choose. I would prefer a Gambling Movie but hve a hard time picking one.

    Ive seen

    Rounders
    Let It Ride
    Casino
    Stu Ungar Story



    Anything gambling related would be cool preferably a new movie but an old flick can work too. Thanks guys.

          21 is decent. It's about those MIT students who took Vegas for millions in blackjack. The book is better though (Bringing Down the House).

                      After Love Actually, it's my favourite movie of all time. I've problem seen it 15-20 times if not more and never get sick of it.

                            Owning Mahoney is the best gambling movie IMO

                            Yonkers Joe is second

                              I like this movie, probably the best sports gambling movie, all his behaviour patterns are very true to what gamblers are like, you will surely see something in this that you have experienced yourself as a gambler.

                                        ET and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas are tied for third.

                                              Player 5150 is an underrated flick about someone who gets in too deep with locals. You can google it and there are sites that show it for free.

                                                        Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans 2009

                                                        Corrupt Det. Terence McDonaugh (Nicolas Cage) -- whose bad habits include pain drugs, reckless sports gambling and accepting sexual bribes -- investigates the murder of five Senegalese illegal immigrants in New Orleans. Co-starring Val Kilmer as McDonaugh's partner, Xzibit as drug supplier Big Fade and Eva Mendes as prostitute Frankie Donnenfield, director Werner Herzog's action drama is a loose update of Abel Ferrara's 1992 film, Bad Lieutenant.

                                                            Hope its good I m watching the opening scenes now.

                                                                Jackie Gleason and Mac Davis play Gondorff and Hooker (the characters made famous by Paul Newman and Robert Redford in The Sting), two con artists who return for more action when rival gangs try to out-con each other. This time, the fix is on a boxing match. Teri Garr, Karl Malden and Oliver Reed (in the role played by Robert Shaw in the original) provide nice support in this caper film that's a worthy follow-up to the original.

But when Lootz falls in love with a cocktail waitress (Maria Bello), she becomes his "lady luck" -- to the chagrin of the casino's crooked director (Alec Baldwin). Baldwin was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his turn as Shelly Kaplow, the old-school casino boss who will do anything to keep Lootz down.
