i was watching casino royale last night and watch james bond take down a 140 million dollar pot with a straight flush..and it made me wonder what is the best poker event you seen in a movie, i like rounders as complete poker movie, but that scene with bond killing the whole table with the str8 flush was awesome...
i agree %100, one of my absolute favorite movies! Someone also just told me about a poker movie that came out recently called "Deal" with burt reynolds, i havent seen it yet but ive heard good things.
I remember that thread ...Quote:

poker scenes in casino royale are pretty good
I have never seen any movies with poker in it.
lock stock and two smoking barrels gotta be
Rounders is the only movie I've ever heard of that's even about poker. There are poker scenes in other movies but Rounders is the only one I've actually seen that focuses on poker so I say ROUNDERS.
casino royal i think is preety good... i like it ther sanother one from silvester stallon thas realy good i forget whats its called though
Casino is pretty good but thats about Vegas, not just poker. The movie "21" is really good if you like Vegas or blackjack at all. Casino Royale poker scenes were pretty sick. Other than those I cant think of anything else.
I am actually not a movie watcher at all.
First off there have been other poker movies mentioned in this thread already. Second if you want more its really not hard to find plenty more with a quick google search. Or 2+2 is usually a good spot for poker related things ... Here is just one guys list*Quote:

* Some guys All time ranking for poker movies on 2+2
Yeah I liked Maverick, the ending was hilarious!
Rounders is my favorite,,,Matt Damon very good actor,,,Bourne Identity series and so on.
I have to go with Rounders. People actually know how to play in that and Matt Damon is awesome! I'm a girl so I can love him just based on looks. lol
Rounders is of course probably the most famous one....I saw a movie called The Grand, was pretty good...has Woody Harrelson in it :)
Rounders was cheasy, but yeah its a great movie. Plus i pretty much like anything with matt damon.Quote:

Rounders.
Rounders of course.
Rounders i would have to say.
I also like the poker scenes in Casino Royale, they were quite fascinating.
I wonder if Rounders had been about 7 stud if you'd have liked it as much? Just a thought...
Anyways fav scene in Rounders was probably Worm hustling cigs in jail then throwing them away in the trash when he got released. That was some funny chit. Irony funny ... not so much lol funny.
