Granted, it seems that movies stand in the forefront of the collective memory when it comes to poker's presence in pop culture. With some variation in order, but not in selection, the most popular poker movies include: The Cincinnati Kid (1965), Rounders (1998), Kaleidoscope (1966), Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998), Maverick (1994), Lucky Town (2000), Big Hand for a Little Lady (1966), Sunset Trail (1939), Queen High (1930), Loaded Pistols (1948) and The Queen of Spades (1949). But how accurate is the portrayal of poker in movies? We want to know your opinion! Post your thoughts in the Hollywood Poker Forum. |
