Default Vegas/Poker Movies?

I'm on a Vegas movie kick lately. This week I watched The Cooler and Breaking Vegas. I'm a sucker for anything Vegas-related.

Anyone have any suggestions for other Vegas or poker themed movies?

Also, today starts Vegas Week on the Travel Channel. Most of the shows are re-run throughout the week, and I think the Sucker Bets one is a oldie, but still the shows are usually interesting.

Default Tilt

I love those Vegas shows on the travel channel and i sure hope they come out with some new ones.

As for the movie I really cant think of one, but I think that ESPN series Tilt is now out on dvd. Its a poker series and i have only seen acouple of episodes but it wasnt that bad and might be worth checking out.

Hey Texas, just wait for a couple days and you'll get to enjoy all kinds of poker movies at the new Google Video Store..

Also, you can scroll down to find threads with similar topics...

Default hmmm...

I loved The Cooler.

There's obviously also Rounders, Maverick (sort of), and a nice little indy one I like called The Last Casino -- though this one is about Blackjack and card counting. Still cool. Nothing like a good gambling movie!

I'm not sure if this is in the catagory really, but how about VEGAS VACATION. I'm sure you know the series with the Griswald family and the vacations they take. I love most of them because they are so funny, but the vegas one is awesome. You can't possibly go wrong with Chevy Chase as an actor and he just makes the movie.

If you havnt seen it I would recommend renting it for a good laugh.

Vegas Vacation "1997"

This doesn't go for a movie, but did anyone watch the series TILT on ESPN. Everyone I know who watched it hated it, but I never had time to watch them. They've been airing them late at night recently and I was thinking about starting to watch. Is it a waste of time?

I haven't seen this either, but would also be interested to know whether it's any good. I guess it never occurs to me to put on ESPN in Prime Time...
