I like several films,, including "Rounders", "The Cincinnati Kid", "Molly's Game" and each of them is interesting in its own way. As for my favorite movie about casinos, I don't think I have one.

I must admit that I like Vegas Vacation, while it's not really a casino movie, the casino scenes are very funny.

I love that scene! 🤣
 
I love the movie "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". Although the film is not entirely about casinos, it is nevertheless my favourite film with a casino plot.

I like the book, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, I have not seen the movie, BUT Many people say it is great.

I also really like "the hangover" <3 Not sure if that one counts BUT I mean, they were in a casino 😛 I totally agree that Casino is a great film as well.
 
Films are listed, I remember a series "Fever" in 1st season of twilight zone. Very interesting and mysterious, duration about 25 minutes
 
I've seen many interesting movies about casinos, but I enjoyed the movie “21” the most. I like absolutely everything in it: the atmosphere, the story, and especially the quote from the main character. By the way, I plan to watch this movie again this Christmas. 😏

Yeah I remember when this movie came out and everyone was talking about it but i still didn't watch it by now. It's a movie about blackjack if i am not mistaken.

Yes, that's right, it's the movie about blackjack with Kevin Spacey as the main con guy. I liked this movie because it's about a dream that the main hero was saving up money for by playing blackjack. That's what I'm doing now: playing poker to make my dream come true.
 
I see there are some casino movies I need to watch!

I loved Rounders and Casino - Molly's Game was good.
 
Another casino movie that is very nice and thought I can highly recommend is "Shades". This is a lesser known movie put in my opinion pretty good. Has to be ages though when I watched it the last time.

I've never heard of it, but I'll check it out.

 
I’d probably go with Casino. The De Niro and Pesci combination makes it one of those movies I can watch more than once.
