This.

Let it Ride (1989) is a fun gambling film.

Rounders is the best, but for "Other" I'll nominate Casino Royale for consideration.

The Sting, Color of Money, 8 Men Out, are they not considered gambling movies?

Uncut Gems is just a 2 hour anxiety attack. Not for me.

Not claiming this to be the best by any stretch, but this is another fun one.

I like all those movies except Uncut Gems.. I even watched it twice to make sure it was as bad as I thought...

"A Big Hand For A Little Lady" was a great movie with a bit of a plot twist with a great cast. Liked it a lot.

Good shout out. Richard Dreyfus is good in it, but his friend Looney was hilarious as the ultimate loser.

Funny things is, I knew people like so many of those characters in that movie from the people I know at the Fair Grounds in N.O.

Not the best, but a very good one that hasn't been mentioned: Diggstown.

Owning Mahowny (2003) with Philip Seymour Hoffman is rarely mentioned, but excellent. It shares vibes with Uncut Gems.

I was hoping this was one of the first comments.

Dont get me wrong though, it’s probably my favorite movie in that list by just a wee bit, but it shouldnt be up there. First time I saw oceans 11; however, I was blown away at the end.

Casino really isn't a gambling movie either.

No list of great gambling movies is complete without one of these on the list.
