Winter cricket and bridge thread - Held over by popular demand

Good list after all.

Maverick
The Cooler
Molly’s Game
The Hustler/The Color of Money
The Sting
Rounders
The Cincinnati Kid

All undisputed GOATs.

Ocean’s Eleven is more of a heist movie that takes place in a casino than about gambling, but whatever. Casino takes place in a casino but is barely about gambling, but it’d be dumb not to include it, so okay, both are great gambling movies.

I really want to see Uncut Gems after the Chapo Episode where it was discussed

What did they say that made you want to see it?

Just their discussion of the characters.

When I saw they had included Let It Ride I knew the list was OK.

Mississippi grind is a legit excellent movie, it just happens to involve gambling. Ben Mendelson kills it as usual.

Lol, I meant to say “gambling”.

LOL I thought it was intentional! You should change it back. A gambling movie that just happens to involve acting was a nice dunk.

The Gambler (with James Caan) is very good.

I think the advent of the lawyer into politics has been largely detrimental in the UK. Having people who can convincingly argue either side of an argument has only exacerbated the lack of trust people have in politicians here.
