Poker Movies

[tuitui]

The Christmas holidays are here, and I thought I would use some of the time (in addition to good food, rest and poker) to watch movies. I actually very rarely watch movies so I would rather not just watch something random. So I would be particularly interested in movies about poker (or gambling) , the kind where the game is not just a superficial decoration, but is actually part of the story. Rounders is probably the only one I have watched.

Any recommendations?

You could try Molly’s Game or a much older movie, California Split.

Наступили рождественские каникулы, и я подумал, что помимо вкусной еды, отдыха и покера, я бы использовал часть времени на просмотр фильмов. На самом деле я очень редко смотрю фильмы, поэтому не хотел бы просто смотреть что-нибудь случайное. Поэтому меня особенно интересуют фильмы о покере (или азартных играх), где игра не просто поверхностное украшение, а часть сюжета. Наверное, «Шулера» — единственный такой фильм, который я смотрел.

Есть какие-нибудь рекомендации?

Molly's game

California Split is an excellent suggestion.

Definitely! That was going to be my choice too. ❤️

Thank you all for suggestions! Ended up watching California Split, which can recommend to others as well. I enjoyed California Split because it doesn't offer easy answers, but leaves the viewer wondering what winning really means. Still some vacation left, probably will watch some other movie as well.

There are some cool ones... I like the 007 Casino Royale!
