Just wanted to ask the BRM community if you can recommend me some really good Movies (except Rounders and Lucky you) which are related to Poker.
Yesterday I have seen the Movie "Lucky You" (funny to see that Eric Bana played a Hand against Jennifer Harman) and liked it and the movie was more realistic than an korean drama series called ALL IN where the hero was winning every hand lol.
Maverick, The Cincinatti Kid, Honeymoon in Vegas, Croupier, House of Games , The Sting ,California Split , Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, A Big Hand for a Little Lady, Casino royale, Ocean's 11,The Odd Couple..........

Depends on how related you want it to be. Some of the ones I rember are. Mavric - Fairly good film Smocking Aces - turned it off half way, some say its a good film, not me. The Cincinatti Kid - best poker related film iv actually seen But there is one about stu-unger that im yet to see, but sounds good and the sting wich iv not seen yet. Outher lesser related ones are the likes of coferdance, great film, oceans 11 anouther great film and now am scratching....ultimate poker babes..not bad but not that good Im sure there are loads more...BTW hated rounders, real bad poker.

Just been reading stacked and spotted a film called shut up and deal, sounds good but got real low ratings on IMDB. BTW does anyone know why it lands on my door step like its some kind of porn?
thx@ all I will try to watch them all especially The Cincinatti Kid and the Stu Ungar Story
@B1gfoot I agree didn't liked Rounders too and couldn't understand why almost everybody said that Rounders is the best Poker Movie ever. Shut up and Deal sounds really good haha

there's 2 months 2 millions ... it's a one season tv show where 4 guys tries to make 2 mill $ during the summer at LA . it's quite nice , it says reality :-??
i ended up watching Stu Ungar Story, wow dont want to spoill it for others but its got a sopranos theme to the film maybe am saying that cause am a fan of that show plus theres two characters from there who star in this film, a film to watch very shocking towards the end,

Watched the Sting last night, I highly recomend it. Its an old film, but even if it was re-done it would look and feel just like it does. Think I might watch Stu Unger Story tonight.
@duck_1991 have you seen any of that? 2M2M IMO was crap, watched half of them, but its just like any outher teen reality show, with very little poker action, more about them partying etc, and they play bad too, I cant figure out how they make money playing like they do...I guess it was all for the show, and im biased to what was shown on the edit for the show, im sure they play good when the cameras were off.
