1. Casino Royale (Martin Campbell, 2006):

First up is Casino Royale, a classic James Bond movie that was first released in 1973 and then relaunched in 2006 with Daniel Craig in the lead role. The plot revolves around a high-stakes poker game in Monte Carlo, with Bond and foreign agent Vesper Lynd trying to prevent Le Chiffre, a mob banker and confidant to terrorists, from winning and walking away with the money. With its exciting action, clever wordplay, and lavish setting, Casino Royale is a standout in the casino film genre.

2. Ocean’s Eleven (Steven Soderbergh, 2001):

Next is “Ocean’s Eleven,” a movie about one of the most iconic heists ever attempted. The plot centres around Danny Ocean, played by George Clooney, who assembles a team of skilled individuals to pull off the heist of three Las Vegas casinos. With its twisty plot, realistic production, and excellent acting, Ocean’s Eleven is a must-see for fans of casino films.

3. Rounders (John Dahl, 1998):

Rounders is another great casino movie, starring Matt Damon as Mike McDermott, a law student and skilled poker player who is drawn back into the gambling world to save his friend from loan sharks. Directed by John Dahl, Rounders offers a different perspective on gambling, exploring the dangers of compulsive behaviour and the allure of the high stakes.

5. The Hangover (Todd Phillips, 2009):

Finally, The Hangover, a comedy about a group of friends who travel to Las Vegas for a bachelor party and wake up the next morning with no memory of the previous night. As they try to piece together the events of the night before, they encounter all sorts of wild and wacky situations, including a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet. With its hilarious antics and outrageous plot, The Hangover is a fun and light-hearted addition to the list of great casino films.
