Top 10 Greatest Gambling Movies Everyone Should See

Written By: Aaron Meyer

My Wife and I just got back from a week long stay in Vegas to celebrate my birthday and we had a great time.  After spending some time down on the Casino floor and being surrounded by all the lights and sounds that make up the Vegas strip, we had gone back to our hotel room for the evening to rest our feet and count just how much we lost at the tables.  Flipping through the channels I noticed that one of the channels was playing The Gambler (1974).  Now I had never seen the original in it's entirety and I didn't that night either but it did give me an idea of giving a top 10 Greatest Gambling Movies that everyone should see list.

Spectre Review

Daniel Craig's fourth and what seems to be final trip into the tuxedo worn by 007 gives a good performance as James Bond however the over the top action and beautiful cinematography doesn't hold up, due to the lack of a strong story.

I'll never forget seeing Casino Royale in theaters with Daniel Craig becoming bond for the first time.  A new take on the Bond character who wasn't tied nearly as much to the gadgets he had used in the past or nearly as much campy-ness to some of the action sequences.  Daniel Craig has been my favorite Bond even if the stories being told haven't always been the greatest.  Spectre doesn't change much to the formula that has worked over the last few movies however, this movie does try to at least hint at more of a deeper connection between the last four movies.  The only problem is that the connection turns out to be as wide as the ocean but as deep as a fish bowl.
