Question Poker Movies?

Has anybody seen that fairly new poker movie called Lucky You, with Drew Barrymore? It wasn't half bad, but it had a really quiet release due to studio conflicts. I saw it about a week ago and was surprized that it didn't get more advertising.

Oh, and if you haven't seen it, what is your favorite movie featuring poker, or gambling?

I am definately a fan of rounders. I love Matt Damon and Edward Norton. I think there is a lot of realistic instances in the movie.

I have seen Lucky You, but Rounders will always be my #1 Poker movie without a doubt.

Yea rounders has got to be up there. Lucky you is a mix of a romantic movie/ gambling movie. But it's not too bad, it's a good mix, so if your a guy and into gambling, your girl would enjoy it. And if your a girl, you can get your guy to watch it because of the gambling part!

Thumbs up

Rounders

California Split

Casino Royale has a good poker game that is in the movie and it is a important part of the movie

Oh yea, I forgot about casino royale. That is a pretty good movie, and your right that poker game is vital to the plot of the movie.

Rounders is great. It's the movie that made me want to learn how to play poker.

I also liked Casino Royale, but I always thought that Bond was supposed to be a Baccarat kind of guy. I don't remember what was actually in the book, but it's nice that Hollywood sees poker as cool or hip.

Rounders is the type of movie that when you watch it you want to play poker. you get all these dreams of hitting it big just due to the movie. Now even if you don't play poker, it's still a good movie i am sure.
