Over the past century, poker has permeated pop culture, especially when it comes to motion pictures. Long before the ��Poker Boom��, and even before the World Series of Poker (WSOP) was a thing, poker had already made its big screen debut.
Over the decades, poker fans have been treated to a plethora of poker movies, some good and others not so much. Some well-received poker films include the western comedy Maverick (1994), Survivor host Jeff Probst��s debut film Finder��s Fee (2001), the improv-inspired The Grand (2007), indie comedy darling Hitting the Nuts (2010), and the high-profile Hollywood flick Molly��s Game (2017).
All of those are among the best poker movies of all time, and if this article was ��Top 10�� instead of ��Top 5 Poker Movies,�� chances are they��d make the final list. However, the PokerNews crew got together, along with input from social media, to determine the top five must-watch poker movies of all time.
