Which movie had the best poker scene?

The Cincinnati Kid

The Sting

Your poll ended too fast! lol

I am not sure what I would vote on - but my favorite poker scenes in movies have been the ones that were unexpected. As a poker player I love it when poker pops up in a non-poker movie.

I know you're the guy that taught me all the angles but I'm not the one with my nose open right now, I'm going to preach to you, those two guys in there they're not "rabbits" ,Roman and Maurice they're Russian outfit guys, not as bad as KGB but you don't want to be phucking around with those guys.

Those guys?   With their fake Versace shirts and shlt?

Both The Sting and Rounders have iconic poker scenes, but it depends on what you're looking for.

The Sting: The poker scene on the train is legendary for its tension and cleverness. Paul Newman’s character, Henry Gondorff, masterfully cheats his way to victory, showcasing old-school artistry with charm and wit.

Rounders: The final poker showdown between Matt Damon's character, Mike McDermott, and John Malkovich's Teddy KGB, is intense and skill-driven. It's a modern, gritty take on the high-stakes poker world, highlighting psychological warfare and strategic play.

If you prefer a classic, clever con, The Sting takes the cake. For a gritty, realistic portrayal of poker, Rounders is your movie.

 Yeah gotta agree with the assessment of Rounders - but now I need to go find and watch The Sting! 

Rounders was great entertainment. Great characters. Great one liners.

but

The simpleton cookie thing was a deal breaker as far as any authenticity.

the scene in casino royale was pretty entertaining. a 100% over dramatic but it's james bond 

In the Sting, John Scarne was the person who did all of the card manipulation.  In his book, he says he did an actual deck switch on camera, and that it went so well that even he can't see it in the movie. 

Tombstone good one 

Im old school so agree with the two mentioned but more then a Couple newer movies have great scenes....Molly's Game ....The Card Counter .... Mississippi Grind all prolly released in the last 2-5 years

 I liked Molly's Game - a lot of poker going on we may have never heard about.
