I've seen High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story, and yes, it's too much melodrama. But it is a great view on the life of one hell of a card player, not just poker player.

I've seen Rounders, and it goes over the top in trying to invoke some of the classic traits of poker and it's players. But, that's Hollywood for ya.

I vaguely remember seeing The Cincinnatti Kid, I have to go back and see it again.

Shade, never seen it, but may have to try and find it.

But, I can't believe that not a soul has mentioned Maverick. Yeah, it's more of a farce than a poker movie, But there are two reasons I love this poker themed movie. One, Jodie Foster. A caniving thief/whore that plays poker with the big boys, love her in that role (and that boustierre). Two, it's hilarious. Not in a bad way either, I just loved the screenplay.

And, absolutely spot on about Tilt, I think there's a good reason ESPN has never replayed it to this day. They could have done so much more with that show and the actors they had.
