Great Casino Movies You
Have To See
If you have a love of casinos and casino games,
it makes sense that you
may carry this hobby into other fields in your
life. You may enjoy
reading about casino games or watching casino
games take place on TV.
It may also be that you enjoy watching movies
that a casino element and
the lucky thing is that there are so many great
casino movies to choose
from. It doesn�t matter if you prefer classic
films or modern celluloid
hits, there will definitely be something for you
to enjoy.
When it comes to casino films, it is easy to see
why so many people
would start with Casino. This is already viewed
as a classic film,
starring Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci
and James Woods.
Clocking in at over three hours, this is an epic
tale of the history of
gambling in Las Vegas and of how the mafia used
to rule the roost
before losing its firm grip on proceedings. It
is easy to see this film
as a glorified version of the actual truth but
it is one that film
buffs return to time after time.
When it comes to casino movies, many people will
instinctively think
about Bond, James Bond. With Casino Royale being
made twice in the Bond
arsenal, this would be a natural place to start
watching but Bond
seemed to spend a great deal of his time in
casinos. This was perfectly
at ease for the smooth man about town and many
cite Diamonds Are
Forever as their favorite Bond film and as their
favorite casino choice.
Another great choice for casino films would have
to be Oceans Eleven
and again, viewers can choose between the
original and the remake. The
Rat Pack starred in the original film featuring
a casino heist and of
course, George Clooney and Brad Pitt were
central to the success of the
remade version. The follow-ups may not have been
as great but there is
no doubt that the first remake stands as a
modern cinema classic.
Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, the film based
on the seminal Hunter S
Thompson book, starring Johnny Depp has a number
of memorable casino
scenes and is perfect for viewers who like to
look at the darker or
stranger side of life. If you are familiar with
the work of Thompson,
you will not be surprised at some of the antics
that go down in Las
Vegas!
Younger viewers can also join in the fun of
great casino films by
watching The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas. As
you would expect from
Fred and Barney, there are many scrapes in this
movie but also as you
would expect, they all come out smiling at the
end of the film. There
are many great casino films to choose from and
you can�t go wrong with
what you choose.
