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

i know the movie, i own it. i wasn't saying exactly whose life was being bet on or who had money on who. I was just stating that if you consider playing russian roulette with your life or anyone's life a form of gambling, then i guess you could consider that a gambling movie. Yet that scene is only a small part of the movie.

DeNiro and Walken , or DeNiro in particularly is wanting the Viet Cong captors to increase his odds of blowing his or Walken's head off.
The Vietnamese are betting on which soldier is going to bite the bullet.
DeNiro wants more bullets in the gun so while the Veitnamese are slightly distracted while betting and the tension in the air , he can get off 3 quick shots and him and Walken can overpower them and escape.

"Bad Lieutenant" (NC-17 version of course)

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.

What Funk said is more so what I meant. The premise of a guy who can "cool" tables is fake and lame to me.

pool hall junkies?

rounders for me.

"you've been rollin' fags in the village again haven't you"

"pay that man his money"

"she shut her legs too fast"

edward norton's character (worm) is one of my favorite movie characters ever.

 

[DeathEatsaCracker]

The fact that they never cut the deck kills Rounders for me.

 

[1968]

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

I was about to say the same thing untill I got to your post.It took till the 2nd page for "The Hustler" with Paul Newman?I do not like black&white movies but I loved this movie and the fact that it was in black&white went out the window.

RatRace was a hillarious comedy involving gambling.

 

[Mr.Jones]

Seen most all of them. Many very good flicks can compete for 2nd place.

OWNING MAHONEY easily takes #1.

Here's one that hasn't been mentioned yet.... "Yonkers Joe". Low budget flick that was produced by Phil Ivey. Chazz Palminteri plays a con man / dice mechanic who grinds out a living by cheating whoever he can. Good movie. Rent it on Netflix.
