The Movies
Of course in recent years one of the most popular and influential gambling –so to speak—movies involved stars Brad Pitt and George Clooney. Ocean’s 11 was a remake of the older version, although the latest version struck box office gold and brought new attention to the classic film. The film was about a man named Danny Ocean, who along with 10 other accomplices decides to rob three famous Las Vegas casinos at the same time. Of course the men are ultimately successful, but that’s not before they have set up one of the most elaborate and seemingly implausible heists in gambling history. Of course, though, the heist is a success and the nail biting plot is complete.
The film was such a hit that later filmmakers produced the hit movie Ocean’s 12, in which Ocean and his partners are back to attempt to plot for more money. Another popular gambling movie is more of an underground hit. The movie –called Rounders – is about a younger man who has stopped gambling. This now well reformed gambler has to unfortunately re-enter the world of gambling to help save one of his friends. The man has to play high stakes poker in order to beat the odds and help his friend survive.
No matter what the taste, there is inevitably a film about a robbery, heist, or betting scandal out there. Both Rounders and Ocean’s 12 have a sense of impending judgment or something else that lends an air of suspense to the movie. To find other gambling-related movies, the best thing to do is to research online or at the video store.
