I used to think Rounders was the best, until I saw "High Roller: The Stu Unger story".

I know it's more of a docudrama than anything, but wow...you have to see it. I give it a 9/10

Steed: You also forgot the remake of "Walking Tall"...good one

You know, a few months ago I saw a documentary called "The Hot Shoe", about card counting. It's was done pretty low budget, I only saw it because a friend of a friend worked on it. However, it was really good. The filmmaker manages good interviews most of the big names in the scene, and then turns himself and his movie's sound budget into a guinea pig counting expedition to Vegas!

What about Chevy Chase's 1997 "Vegas Vacation"?

Actually tb, I knew what a Hard Eight was. It took me a few minutes to catch the OTHER meaning...ha ha ha. You crack me up.

My all time favourites include Let it Ride with Richard Dreyfuss - a classic!

OMG Cheeky, I'd almost forgotten about that one!! Robbie Coltrane is great in that too. I love the part where Dreyfuss runs around the track with his program prior to the race asking everyone which horse they like. As they answer, he crosses those horses off the program until he's left with one, and that's the one he bets on. I swear to God I've had days like that at the track, where that system seems just as good as reading the Racing Form for hours, lol. And what about when he swears the horse "winked" at him? Ha ha, most definitely a classic. I can relate.

Great thread.

Nobody has mentioned "The Sting"
Ok it is an old movie but it has a fantastic plot and boasts a Star line up that includes Paul Newman and Robert Redford at the height of their powers.
Of all the more recent films mentioned here I would have to agree with most of them and "Casino" is definately a modern classic.

something made me think of Going in Style

not really a casino movie, but there is one segment where George Burns and Art Carney go to Vegas and shoot craps that is classic!

I liked the Simpsons where Marge developed an addiction to slots....

And then in Family Guy where Lois lost the car playing VP




And how come Ocean's 11 hasn't been brought up???? Great movie!
