yeah i guess russian roulette is a gamble with your Life.

Watch the scene again. DeNiro and Walken are just chips. The Vietnamese captors are gambling on someone elses Life

 

[ConansHammer]

Owning Mahoney is the best gambling movie out there. Makes Rounders look like a shamwow or somthing

The Cooler is awful and is an insult to the gambling world. Two for the Money is as good as it gets. Every other movie has huge flaws as far as gambling goes. While Rounders is one of my favs, the poker scenes are very fake. Lucky You has some of the better poker scenes you will see. By better I mean more believable.

I can't believe I have not seen Fever Pitch. At first I thought you meant this as a gambling flick and then I read the comedy only part of your post.

FEVER PITCH IS GAMBLIMG........let it ride was com only part

Hard for me to believe that "The Hustler" has not been mentioned.

Um, "The Cooler" was a great movie. It was nominated for an
academy award, had 8 award wins, and 18 nominations.

To see all the awards it won: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318374/awards

You'll find it on most top 10 gambling movie lists.

Wait. Can you explain to me how 'Fever Pitch' is gambling?! We are talking about the flick with Jimmy Fallon right?

I guess throwing it in Drew Barrymore might be a bit of a risk, is that what you meant?

I liked 'The Cooler'. It was a good & entertaining flick, I give you that.

But it has absolutely nothing much that you can relate to as a gambler.

It's a neat story and well acted. I will agree with that.

hard eight was a very good gambling movie imo.

Peter Falk, Timothy Hutton, and Freddie Prinze jr.

Kinda cheesy, but it's about some ole time bookie.
