Gambling has found its way to be the theme of many classic movies. There have been many extraordinary films that have gambling as their central plot or have been shot inside a casino industry. They deal with gambling-related topics starting from casinos, online casinos, blackjack to poker, hustling and many more. Many of these films have big names and have made it to the Oscar nomination list. Some of them managed to win the Oscars as well. But most importantly, these movies are fun and entertaining to watch and to a large extent have also or attempted to normalize gambling and betting. Today, thanks to pop culture, gambling is becoming less stigmatised and people have started viewing the casino industry from a different perspective.
High Roller: The Stu Ungar Story
This autobiographical masterpiece is based on Stu Ungar, a high roller who had once taken the entire casino industry by storm with his exceptional and brilliant poker skills and was the only person till date who managed to win three WSOP Main tournaments. In this A.W Vidmer’s directorial masterpiece, Micheal Imperioli who effortlessly donned the role of Stu Ungar beautifully expressed the break down of the character who once ruled the casino industry. The film captures the poker player’s journey featuring the extreme high and low points of his career. Eventually losing his wealth on betting on horses, Stu’s meteoric rise to the pinnacle of the casino industry followed by his absolute downfall is both devastatingly beautiful and entertaining.
The Cooler
In this comedic masterpiece, William H. Macy plays a quirky character who has been doomed with bad luck. The bad luck is so contagious that he quickly gains the reputation of being a cooler- a title designated to people with an excess amount of bad luck. He is so full of bad luck that casinos hire him to make him stand near the punters at the casino tables. The punters eventually lose the game and the casino’s house edge remains unaffected. But tables turn when the cooler’s bad luck changes into good luck and he eventually becomes a favourite lucky charm of every gambler in Las Vegas, much to the dismay and disappointment of the casino owners. In this fun premise, Wayne Kramer brought together an amazing cast that delivers a spectacular performance and provides an in-depth view of the casino industry that is still largely dominated by superstitions and the idea of luck.
Seabiscuit
John Malkovich's Son Loewy Malkovich

The plot depicts the lives of a jockey’s, a horse’s and a trainer’s rise to the top of the betting world. Jeff Bridges is a lonely individual who has depression and is cursed with bad luck. The only thing that matters close to him is a lazy and good for nothing horse called Seabiscuit who was discovered by a cowboy trainer (Chris Cooper).
