What's your favorite gambling-related movie or TV show, and why?

For me it’s Rounders. That movie made poker look way cooler than it probably is in real life. I love the whole underground vibe and Matt Damon playing with the sharks, all just stuck with me. I even tried learning Texas Hold’em after watching it and quickly realized that this wasn't real.

I like "Rounders" because it shows the psychological side of poker so well. The acting is so solid and the story is so real too. It teaches patience, reading opponents and strategy well, which is very important for poker players.
