Good Poker movie.

Hello community just passing to share with you a poker movie that I watched I few days ago.

Molly's Game is a 2017 American biographical crime drama film

It focuses on the life of Molly Bloom, a world-class skier who became a millionaire before the age of 21. After missing the Olympics, Molly moved to live in Los Angeles, where she even worked as a waitress. Thanks to her intelligence and entrepreneurial skills, the young woman ended up earning millions of dollars in the world of poker before the FBI investigated her.

For some reason, i didn't really like the movie. Because there was little about the poker itself. I like 2 very old films more:

1.) "Cincinnati Kid"

2.) "A Big Hand for the Little Lady"

Yes. You're right. It's not completely about poker. More like Molly's life. I like that it's a biographical story. And that it is related to the real life of poker. Thanks for the movie titles. I haven't seen them yet. I'm going to look for them.

I searched for many Poker/gambling movies, and really loved the thought of watching a poker movie.
The movie "Molly's Game" is exactly how you described it. I have to agree on that.

From the few I watched some seemed boring or childish to me and wasn't what I was expecting (real poker plays and thoughts). Like "21", "Runner-Runner", "Win It All"... etc (You can search on google for poker or gambling movies and choose what you like from its plot).

But I want to share the movie "The Card Counter", I heard of it from the PokerStars twitch channel commentator. Haven't watched yet, but saw the trailer and seemed good for a try.

Besides movies, poker documentaries are available in a way more than movies with a story. Some documentaries talk about specific type of game and its timeline or a personality and how they managed to gamble money and some have advices.

I think that THE ROUNDERS are a good poker movie, at least I like it a lot

hjuosh · Aug 15, 2022

Thanks man for contribution of the titles. I'll find it. 🤘

I know about the Molly's game movie after watch the real Hollywood history behind, whats it's real life. There's involved a lot of Hollywood personalities and real people.

I watched a very good review on YouTube where it is the entire real history. And for sure it's much better than the movie perhaps.

Rounders was the best poker movie I've ever seen( https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0128442/?ref_=m_ttls_tt_1 ), also if you are a fan of biography movies - The Stu Ungar Story was a really interesting movie to watch too ( https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0338467/?ref_=m_ttls_tt_10 ).

hjuosh · Aug 15, 2022

Well it seems that Rounders is one of the most voted. I will watch it today, let's see how it goes . Thanks for your comment.

I just watched Rounders. I give it an 8. It seems to me a little out of the real poker life. But it's entertaining. Now I'll watch your other recommendation. 🤘

It looks super interesting thanks. I watched the trailer. I'll find the movie for tonight.

I think it's time that a film series like "The Queen's Gambit" is made, but on the subject of poker and of course a protagonist who climbs from the bottom to the top. That would be really interesting.

fernandofcp · Aug 16, 2022

How nice of you, hjuosh! I will watch the movie. Thanks for sharing this information. Big hug!

ADRI7HO · Aug 16, 2022

"Rounders" is basic cinema, I liked it a lot, and "Lucky You" is also quite good, but one of my biggest favorites is "Maverick".

Could be very good idea what you say. There are bunch of material about poker. But yes we need more. Hahah.

I just watched the Stu Ungar based movie. My thoughts. I feel very sad about him. I think The characters was very good selection. And is a good example for everyone... Well I don't want to spoiler. Thanks for share was a very good contribution.

Man I watched the trailer for 'A Big Hand for the Little Lady' first I thought it was a bored movie from the sixties. But. Nothing on that. I liked very much. I'll have to watch. The performances looks super fine. I'll tell you later.

I especially liked the ending of the movie.
But for me, the "Cincinnati Kid" is more interesting!

hjuosh · Aug 16, 2022

Wow. I finished the movie right now. What an unspected end of movie. I really like it. It is a very good movie. Now I need a 'Rubi' hahah. Maybe like a totem.
I go for the other 'cincinaty Kid' 🤘
