Place your bets on some of the all-time greatest films ever made about the pulse-racing highs and gutter-dwelling lows of the gambling world. Rife with high-stakes drama—in which fortunes and lives can be made or broken by a single roll of the dice, turn of the cards, or spin of the roulette wheel—the gambling film has long been a potent vehicle for filmmakers to explore the seductively seedy edges of society and the riskiest extremes of human behavior. Featuring hard-boiled noir gems (DARK CITY, THE LAS VEGAS STORY), gritty New Hollywood character studies (THE HUSTLER, THE GAMBLER), and 1990s indie sleepers (HARD EIGHT, CROUPIER), this winning hand of gambling classics is a royal flush.
