What are some good movies about Poker?

Question

What are some good movies that every poker player should watch? This is community wiki, so please one movie in per answer.

Answer 1

Rounders (1998). http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0128442/ "You've got to play the hand you're dealt"

Every player knows it and John Malkovich's portrayal of "Teddy KGB" is legendary.

Answer 2

My favorite poker movie for all time is The Cincinnati Kid.

In 1930s New Orleans, the Cincinnati Kid, a young stud poker player who travels from one big game to the next, stopping along the way up with various girls, is pitted against the legendary champion card-sharp Lancey Howard in a high-stakes poker game.

From Lancey Howard:

Gets down to what it's all about, doesn't it? Making the wrong move at the right time.

It effects me every time.

Answer 3

California Split was always my favorite:
