Hello everyone!

I hope you can participate in my little game. 

Can you enumerate movies you remember that showed actors playing at casinos?

Go!

[Run4lyf]

I will go with the most famous one......James Bond!

[Ace_of_Spades]

I will go with the most obvious one

I liked the book too (Bringing down the house)

Last night I read the suggestion above - "Casino" while I was deciding which movie to watch and picked that one. Interesting! Aaand among other things, this movie is just a confirmation that men who are talented to run some business, usually choose totally wrong women

 

Glad that you liked the movie Yes indeed, Ginger is one hell of a mess...

If you like the style, watch Scorsese's other works. Goodfellas is also great, not about casinos though - more about low-rank mobsters.

I like Ocean's Eleven and the succeeding parts of that movie.

Hmmm sounds like an action movie?

Hey thanks, I will

I just remembered another movie related to gambling - "Hard Eight", from 1996.

Thanks Jelena. I will watch that as well. 

[Freaky]

"21" was a good movie I liked it

There is also "Maverick"

and one of my favorites although not exactly casino one "Snatch"

[Ida]

"Rounders" with Matt Damon, excellent.

[Ida]

Oh and "Rain Man" of course, where Dustin Hoffman plays an autistic card counter. He won an Oscar for it, and the movie got three more aside from that.

[sarahliam]

I would say Casino Royale James bond

[christopherwatkins]

I'm in.
