What are some other great pool movies


Ive seen The Color of Money and this. But cannot think of any others. My local video store does not carry The Hustler. I'd love to see more pool and hustling.

I heard Stick Men was good from my mate. I think it was made in New Zealand.

As several of us have mentioned in the related thread, "pool in movies," there are a few more movies you might enjoy:

"The Baron and the Kid" (dir Gary Nelson, a 1984 TV movie with a HUGE cast of well-knowns such as Tracy Pollen, Claude Akins, Shaft's Richard Roundtree, Dariren McGavin, and the great Mike Massey)

"Running Out" (dir Byron Cepek, 2001)

"Chalk" (dir Rob Nillson, 1996)

"Kiss Shot" (1989) starring Whoopi Goldberg

"Io, Chiara e lo scuro," also known as "Pool Hustlers," (1982) is an Italian love story set around pool.

"The Last Time I Committed Suicide" (1997) doesn't focus as much on pool.

"The Baltimore Bullet" (1980) is all about hustling.

"Stickmen," (2001) a New Zealand film that does a great job, just not as good as Poolhall Junkies.

Hope this helps.

There's a russian movie called "Classic". Don't know if it's made to the US.
