Can anyone go past Rounders as being number 1??

Then you've got Lucky You (everyone seems to hate it, but it aint that bad), 21 and Deal.

21 and Deal are newbies and a little tacky, but allright for a 2hour time killer..

Lucky You is a great tale of poker degeneracy at its finest; upswinging, downswinging, upswinging, downswinging, woman, woman issues, family, family issues and then success.

Tim, tell that to the director of the movie and the cast and crew, because they sure didn't understand that concept when they made the movie...

What about High Roller? The Stu Unger life story.
Sick gambling in that.
