Run

Run is a poker movie made in 1990. Although a few critics have called it as one of the best movies, some of them do not consider it anything great.

In this movie some rare scenes of the game are depicted such as tipping the dealer and waving off a second hand smoke. Patrick Dempsey is shown as player who loves to kill his time on the poker table. The climax of the movie is when out hero is forced by a violent player to draw one card rather than a standing pat.

Recommended, watchable movie.

The Sting (1973) is one of the best three poker movies I’ve seen, the movie is set in 1936. It stars Paul Newman, Robert Reford, Robert Shaw, Charles Durning, Ray Walston, Eileen Brennan, Harold Gould, John Hefferman, Jack Collins, Lee Paul, and many other actors.

The screenwriter of The Sting was inspired by a real life story that he created into a motion picture. The musical score of the movie, especially the main theme track, is one of the reasons of its wide popularity. It made over $160 million and was a huge box office hit. It got seven Academy Awards.

The Sting is distributed into different sections with conventional title cards with illustrations and lettering.
