1. Rounders (1998)

Directed by Martin Scorsese. With Robert De Niro, Sharon Stone, Joe Pesci, James Woods. A tale of greed, deception, money, power, and murder occur between two best friends: a mafia enforcer and a casino executive compete against each other over a gambling empire, and over a fast-living and fast-loving socialite. Casino (1995) Sam “Ace” Rothstein (Robert DeNiro) is sent by his mob boss to look after the mob’s gambling interests at the Tangiers Hotel and Casino. With the aid of his main henchman Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), they make millions for the casino while “eliminating” any problems that get in the way. Rain Man (1989). Donna fills in for Lisa at a convenience store. A young boy is caught stealing a teddy bear for his brother's birthday, but Donna covers for him. Brandon alienates Nat and Susan as he gets carried away during the After Dark's charity casino night.

Poker scenes, like those found in Rounders, can create a lot of tension on the movie screen and in real life. While trying to save his friend from mounting gambling debts, Mike McDermott (Matt Damon) faces off against Teddy KGB (John Malcovich) in a dramatic one on one poker game for the fate of his friend. The good guy wins.
