Casino Royale<\/em> (2006)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIn Casino Royale<\/em>, James Bond takes on private banker and terrorism financier Le Chiffer in a high-stakes poker game at Casino Royale, in Montenegro. His mission is to defeat the banker. The scene reveals all the intensity of poker. Especially dramatic is the moment Bond is poisoned and only just manages to save his own life. Memorably, he returns to the table, much to the villain\u2019s surprise and quips \u201cOh I\u2019m sorry. That last hand\u2026 nearly killed me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Free](\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXeQIIVQnJ14vIGEM2o-94RIAhub1N6prWDeT05N0R-Vk_HS9OBPZaSnhn6tWriF7uqxuvgBGI6m-TjyLqg2ansvkYEsPvQOIjjk8EEpK2KUlyVfnfEk9kPWtxPfN4DpPgvo5MCYvv1JUoqyPQ3NMLt-PV6I_OWaWmY8DCzbrzL0xEpurirfcw?key=zGWlL1vLX4CCcK-EHQnSVQ\")

Newman poses as obnoxious drunken bookmaker Shaw and cons the gangster out of $15,000, amazingly while both are cheating at the game (Gondorff by bringing his own deck, and Lonnegan by arranging the deck to produce four of a kind for himself).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nDespite Gondorff\u2019s jovial nature and lack of respect towards the gangster, the atmosphere at the table is incredibly tense and, towards Gondorrf, hostile.

The Cincinnati Kid<\/em> (1965)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe Cincinnati Kid <\/em>is one of the best poker movies ever. The film stars the ever-cool Steve McQueen as Eric Stoner, an underdog in poker who wants to establish a reputation as being the best. This quest brings up against the man considered the best, Lancey \u201cThe Man\u201d Howard.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nTypically, one of the poker scenes takes place in a dreary, dimly lit room. The atmosphere<\/a> is tense. In the showdown against one player, Stoner clears up and his opponent, unable to hide his anger at his loss, accuses Stoner of marking the cards. He then follows Stoner out of the room and demands the money back while brandishing a knife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
