Rounders is the only poker movie I've ever seen. I guess there's a film about Stu Ungar, but I haven't seen it. I haven't seen Cincinnati Kid either, it was made in 1965.
I saw Guys & Dolls a few weeks ago. I didn't realize it was a gambling movie. It's got a young Marlon Brando & Frank Sinatra in their prime. It's a musical, which sucks, but some entertaining gambling rhetoric thrown in there as well. I watched the whole thing and it's probably the first musical I watched the whole way through since Wizard of Oz when I was a kid. Watching Brando as a sexy leading man is ironic for me, because I only remember Brando as the Godfather and in Apocalypse Now.
