Hey buds.
I am a lover of movies, not just all movies but the most interesting ones..
If you are a lover of movies yourself, you will agree with me that most times, title does not really tell if a movie will be interesting or not, in-fact, by going with title, you sometimes buy or download and watch a movie only to end up very disappointed and feeling like you were cheated..
But then, on the other hand, there are movies with very dull, uninteresting titles , but when you happen to watch the movie, you will stay glued to it till the very end due to how interesting that movie is..
And from my personal research, casinos and gambling related movies dont come with the best of titles, i mean they dont have that Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr kind of title where you feel "oh my gosh, this movie must be smoking hot, i must watch it" na na, casino/gambling related movies dont come with such titles, and maybe that is why are not always that popular because they dont really pick people's interest, but like ive said before, title of a movie most times dont tell if that movie will be interesting or not.
The best way to truly know movies that will be interesting is by special recommendations by those that have watched that movie, this is what i want us to specifically focus on doing on this thread, discussing only and strictly casino/gambling related movies, for those of us who aside gambling, loves watching movies on our spare time, we could get an idea of what to watch next from this thread...
I hope for this thread to become one of the mega threads centered only on casino/gambling related movies and its discussions only, so to keep the thread as clean as possible, and from possible hijack from spammers ...
The thread will be self moderated

Lets just have fun discussing something different from sports, gambling addiction and no addiction stuff, while keeping to the rule of this board.
I may sound old but for me it would be "Rounders." It's an absolute gem, as Mike McDermott. He's a law student and a seriously skilled poker player who's trying his best to leave his underground gambling days behind. But, you know how it goes, fate has other plans when his old pal Worm (played by Edward Norton) pops back into the scene fresh out of prison and drags Mike back into the thrilling world of high-stakes poker.
Picture this: gripping poker games in smoky underground rooms, where fortunes are won and lost with each card that hits the table. The movie serves up an authentic portrayal of poker and the mind games that go on behind the scenes. And man, the performances in this flick are top-notch! Damon and Norton deliver knockout acts, but wait until you meet the eccentric and intimidating Russian poker player Teddy KGB, played by the brilliant John Malkovich, and the seasoned poker grinder Joey Knish, portrayed by the ever-charming John Turturro.
But hey, "Rounders" isn't just about gambling; it's got heart too! It delves into the complexities of friendships, loyalty, and redemption. You'll find yourself rooting for Mike and Worm, cheering them on as they take risks and navigate through this intense and unpredictable poker world.
