The Sting (1973) http://movieclips.com/5tsjP-the-sting-movie-a-game-of-jacks/ INT. THE POKER ROOM AGAIN - NIGHT A pair of hands shuffling. We pull back to reveal that they're Gondorff's. He passes the deck to Lonnegan to be cut and turns to pen a new whiskey bottle. Lonnegan takes the deck and in one lightning motion substitutes a new deck, while making it look like he's cutting the old one. Gondorff picks up the deck and begins to deal. As the hand is picked up, we see that Gondorff has four threes, Lonnegan four nines, and everybody else has nothing. CLAYTON: (opening the bidding) Fold. LONNEGAN: 250. GONDORFF: Raise 1,000. LONNEGAN: Raise 500. Gondorff looks at Lonnegan very carefully for a second. Lonnegan meets his stare. GONDORFF: (slowly) Raise 2,000. The spectators shift a little. It's the biggest bet of the night. LONNEGAN: See and raise 1,000. GONDORFF: (taking it to him) Raise 5,000. Lonnegan fingers his remaining chips. He knows he's won, but he wants to bleed it for every bit of suspense. LONNEGAN: (going for broke) See, and raise the rest. Lonnegan pushes in the rest of his chips. Gondorff, who is only required to match Lonnegan's total, throws in all his too. It's a showdown. GONDORFF: Call. Lonnegan puts down his four nines. Gondorff just stares at them a second, lets out a deep sigh and lays down four jacks. Lonnegan is aghast. This just can't be. He glances at Floyd, who can do nothing but sit there with his mouth open. GONDORFF: (raking in the chips) Well that's all for me tonight, boys. I'm gonna leave ya some cab fare. The other players look at each other in disgust, and reach for their wallets, all of which are well stocked. GONDORFF: (to Lonnegan) You owe me 15 grand, pal. Lonnegan, with a stare that could kill, reaches for his wallet. Suddenly the stare goes soft. He tries a few more pockets. No soap. LONNEGAN: (getting up to get it) I guess I left it in my room. GONDORFF: (blowing up) What! Don't give me that crap you little weenie. How do I know you ain't gonna take a powder. (waving his wallet, which is full of Lonnegan's money) You come to a game like this, you bring your money. Lonnegan, having had all he can take, goes for Gondorff, but is restrained by the conductor. GONDORFF: All right, buddy, I'm gonna send a boy by your room in five minutes, and you better have that jack, or it's gonna be all over Chicago that your name ain't worth a dime. Gondorff stalks out of the room. We pick him up coming down the passageway to his compartment.

The opening scene for BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID. A gambling dispute. Love the way this one is resolved! http://movieclips.com/cr5V-butch-cassidy-and-the-sundance-kid-movie-the-sundance-kid/

Cool Hand Luke (1967) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVXKOb5EE7Y The poker game. Five card stud. Playing are Gambler, Koko, Dynamite, Blind Dick and Luke, bandaged. The mood of the barracks is quieter than usual. The men are still assessing the fight, uncertain as to who now is their leader, looking toward Dragline for an indication. Not playing, Dragline lies on his bunk behind Koko, sullenly reading a sex book. Gambler deals the third cards. GAMBLER Ana paira ninas. Koko's the brains. KOKO Cuter. Dynamite is already out. Blind Dick now folds. GAMBLER Ace calls. LUKE Kick a buck. KOKO (considers, then chips) I'm in. GAMBLER Ace calls. Here we go. (deals Luke) King-five gets a tray for no help. (deals Koko) Paira ninas gets a Jack. (deals himself) Ana man with the ace gets... slop in the face... Ninas up. KOKO (regarding Luke) Cuter again. GAMBLER Call. LUKE (expressionless) Kick a buck. Koko is worried. He looks at his hole card, considers, long silence. Dragline looks over from his bunk. DRAGLINE (to Koko) Whatcha got? KOKO Pair'a nines. DRAGLINE I kin see that, brick head. I mean your hole card. Koko hands it over his shoulder to Dragline, who now sits up to consider the whole situation. DRAGLINE (continuing) Uh-huh. And he ain't got nothing showing. Raise his head off. KOKO He's been betting his head from the gun. Gotta have kings. DRAGLINE So then you just call him. KOKO (chipping) I call. GAMBLER (studies Luke's cards) I gotta believe. Out! (folds) Now they're rollin'. (deals Luke) King-five-four gets an eight. (deals Koko) Pair'a nines with a Jack gets a four. Ninas still up. KOKO (tentatively) Cuter. LUKE (automatically) Kick a buck. KOKO Damn. He looks up to Dragline for help. DRAGLINE Kick him back a buck! Koko looks uncertain, but listens. KOKO Back a buck. LUKE (automatically) Kick a buck. Koko looks up to Dragline: What do we do now? DRAGLINE Don't look at me, mullet-head. Koko looks to the others. GAMBLER Man, you play like a kokonut. You got to call him at least. KOKO I know he's got a paira kings. He don't have to stick 'em in my ear. BLIND DICK Gotta have kings. GAMBLER Sure he's got kings but you still gotta call him. Koko looks back to Dragline. DRAGLINE Man's got a paira kings, get your tail out. Koko folds. Luke reaches for the pot at the same time that Dragline reaches for Luke's cards. DRAGLINE Nuthin'! A handfull of nuthin'! (cuffs Koko) You stupid mullet-head. He beat you with nuthin'! Just like today when he kept coming back at me. LUKE (smiling) Nuthin' can be a pretty cool hand. DRAGLINE Cool Hand Luke. So saying, Dragline saves face and the baton of leadership is passed.

Business cards! Kind of a poker game in American Psycho, scene here (script here). For a more classic card game take, John Malkavich in Rounders, any scene.

MalkOvich. Well worth getting right.

I know it's not a "card game" in the typical sense, but that opening scene of Ghostbusters where Murray shocks the kid... Classic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwaz5H7C1bs One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest McMurphy - This is a fucking queen here, you understand? You don’t count the this and the this. Martin - Hit me. McMurphy - YOU GOT 20 SHOWING! Martin - Hit me again.

Casino Royale (2006). The last hand of the game which includes Bond and his buddy Le Chiffre... Bond: Fourteen million, five hundred thousand all in. [crowd gasp] [Le Chiffre ponders. Strains. Checks his cards. Finally...] Le Chiffre: Well, I think I will call you on that one. [He goes all in.] Dealer: Call. [Bond and Le Chiffre stare each other out.] Rene(incredulous): One hundred and fifteen million in the pot. [Everyone is silent.] Dealer: Gentleman, throw down please.

Oh, and the link... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9fyOFefirQ

Rounders (1998) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFF3E0Aqdlc Awesome movie (except for Malkovich's Russian accent) and the end hand is so good because they set it up throughout the whole movie. Teddy KGB: Last card coming. Mike McDermott: Check. Teddy KGB: It hurts, doesn't it? You can't believe what fell. All your dreams... dashed. Hopes down the fucking drain. Your fate, he is sitting right beside you. That ace could not have helped you. [Chips Rattling] I bet it all. Mike McDermott: You're right, Teddy. The ace didn't help me. I flopped a nut straight. Teddy KGB: Motherfucker! [Speaking Russian] Motherfucker! That is it! - Grama: That's it? What the fuck you talking about? Take him down, Teddy. Teddy KGB: Nyet! Nyet! No more. No! Not tonight! This son of bitch, all night he check, check, check. He trapped me! Mike McDermott: Well, you feeling satisfied now, Teddy? 'Cause I can go on busting you up all night.

The dialogue, apologies for formatting oddities, first the American Psycho scene: Bateman takes out his wallet and pulls out a card. PRICE (Suddenly enthused) What's that, a gram? BATEMAN New card. What do you think? McDermott lifts it up and examines the lettering carefully. McDERMOTT Whoa. Very nice. Take a look. He hands it to Van Patten. BATEMAN Picked them up from the printers yesterday VAN PATTEN Good coloring. BATEMAN That's bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Rail. McDERMOTT (Envious) Silian Rail? VAN PATTEN It is very cool, Bateman. But that's nothing. He pulls a card out of his wallet and slaps it on the table. VAN PATTEN Look at this. They all lean forward to inspect it. PRICE That's really nice. Bateman clenches his fists beneath the table, trying to control his anxiety. VAN PATTEN Eggshell with Romalian type. (Turning to Bateman) What do you think? BATEMAN (Barely able to breath, his voice a croak) Nice. PRICE (Holding the card up to the light) Jesus. This is really super. How'd a nitwit like you get so tasteful? Bateman stares at his own card and then enviously at McDermott's. BATEMAN (V.O.) I can't believe that Price prefers McDermott's card to mine. PRICE But wait. You ain't seen nothin' yet. He holds up his own card. PRICE Raised lettering, pale nimbus white... BATEMAN (Choking with anxiety) Impressive. Very nice. Let's see Paul Owen's card. Price pulls a card from an inside coat pocket and holds it up for their inspection: "PAUL OWEN, PIERCE & PIERCE, MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS." Bateman swallows, speechless. The sound in the room dies down and all we hear is a faint heartbeat as Bateman stares at the magnificent card. BATEMAN (V.O.) Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark... His hand shaking, Bateman lifts up the card and stares at it until it fills the screen. He lets it fall. The SOUND RETURNS TO NORMAL. CARRUTHERS Is something wrong? Patrick...you're sweating. _______________________ And for Rounders, how about this scene, dialogue from transcript: TEDDY You must be kicking yourself for not walking out when you could. Bad judgment. But... don't you worry, son. It will all be over soon. MIKE Okay... Check. TEDDY No check here. I tap you. MIKE I'm laying this down, Teddy. Top two pair. It's a monster hand, and I'm gonna lay that down... 'cause you got two-four, and I'm not gonna draw against a made hand. TEDDY Lays down a monster. Should have paid me off on that. Why the fuck did you lay that down? MIKE Wow. Not hungry? TEDDY Mr. Son of a Bitch. Let's play some cards. _______________________ Can see rest of scene here: MIKE (V.O.) The rule is this: You spot a man's tell, you don't say a fucking word. I finally spotted KGB's. And usually I would've let him go on chewing those Oreos till he was dead broke. But I don't have that kind of time. I've only got till morning. Not even Teddy KGB's immune to getting a little rattled. TEDDY'S MINION Enough is enough, Teddy. Finish the fucking kid off. TEDDY Hanging around. Hanging around. Kid's got alligator blood. Can't get rid of him. MIKE No, I'm not going anywhere. Double the blind. TEDDY Okay. I call. MIKE Check. TEDDY Two grand. MIKE All right, I'll call the two grand. I'll gamble. Don't splash the pot. TEDDY You're on a draw, Mike? Go away. This one is not good for you. And in my club, I will splash the pot whenever the fuck I please. MIKE Okay. [Sighs] I'm gonna check, daddy. TEDDY That's right. Big daddy... That's the pot. MIKE That's 4,400. All right, I'm gonna call you, or else I won't respect myself tomorrow morning. TEDDY Respect is all you'll have left in the morning. Last card coming. MIKE Check. TEDDY It hurts, doesn't it? You can't believe what fell. All your dreams... dashed. Hopes down the fucking drain. Your fate, he is sitting right beside you. That ace could not have helped you. [Chips Rattling] TEDDY I bet it all. MIKE You're right, Teddy. The ace didn't help me. I flopped a nut straight. TEDDY Motherfucker! [Speaking Russian] Motherfucker! That is it! - TEDDY'S MINION That's it? What the fuck you talking about? Take him down, Teddy. TEDDY Nyet! Nyet! No more! No! Not tonight! This son of bitch, all night he check, check, check. He trapped me! MIKE Well, you feeling satisfied now, Teddy? 'Cause I can go on busting you up all night. TEDDY Nyet! Nyet! He beat me. Straight up. Pay him. Pay that man his money.

:-) Great scene.
