The Baltimore Bullet was entertaining. Never seen Poolhall Junkies but will check it out. Color of Money was good. The Hustler nudges greatness as a movie and if I hated pool it would still be great.

Love this topic. I write a blog "8 Ball on the Silver Screen" all about billiards movies, tv shows, short films, etc. I thought you might enjoy seeing my full list of about 150 titles.

FWIW, my favorite is "The Hustler."

I recall watching "The Pool Hustlers" on TV in the graveyard shift sometime in the 80s. Had completely forgotten about it. Great link, thanks!

A lot like Rounders but the nut pool movie imo, cannot wait for the poker sequel (Poker junkies).

The Color of Money hands down. Hard to beat a Classic with Paul & Tom & w/a director like Scorsese, that's tough to beat.

You guys aren't saying TCOM>The Hustler, right? The Hustler is the GOAT pool/gambling film. Masterpiece.
