Top 5 Poker Movies

Posted by CarbonPoker on 20th February 2009

Ive been getting in to poker movies latley, and thought Id share some of them with you.

No 5 – Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
Although poker plays a very small part in this flick, all the brutal action is set in motion by a brutal fixed card game.
No 4 – Maverick.
Mel Gibsons foray into the card game, before he got all weird and started his own church.
No 3 – Rounders
Classic poker movie with a solid cast. “if in the first hour at the table, you cant spot the sucker, then its you…”
No 2 – California Split
What do you have to say? This man just called you a cheater.”
“What do I have to say? I say the man doesn’t know how to play poker. The man is bad. He’s a complete asshole. We all know that, right? The man goes broke, he can’t handle it. The man is on tilt. You wanna hear any more?”
No 1 – The Cincinnati Kid
Steve Mcqueen doing what he does best – laying beat downs on king pins and slaying down babes. “How the hell did you know I didn’t have the King or the Ace?”

“I recollect a young man putting the same question to Eddie the Dude. ‘Son,’ Eddie told him, ‘all you paid was the looking price. Lessons are extra.’”
