Who needs chill when you can have a stack of chips? Its been a great year for online streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and BBC iPlayer. Here at Casino.com, we love a little ante with our visual action.
If youre scratching around for something to watch this week, here is our indispensible guide to the top 15 movies streaming today. Not surprisingly, they all have either a betting theme or are set in a casino or Las Vegas. Is your favourite film here? Did we miss one? Are you sitting comfortably? Lights, camera, action
If you like your clichs served thick and fast, with a large order of strippers, gangsters, crime, and raucous what-happens-in-Vegas-stays-in-Vegas exploits, Bachelor Party Vegas hits the spot. This is Friday night lads movie, best enjoyed with a tub of popcorn and a few beers. The plot: five lads go wild in Las Vegas and things get a lot crazy.
With a 35% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Shakespeare it doth not be. It is however a no-brainer scattered with giggles and a few belly laughs. Just dont over think it and you wont be (too) disappointed.
Made in 2009, just three years after Bachelor Party Vegas, The Hangover was everything its predecessor wasnt. Once again, the pre-nuptial lads go wild in Las Vegas, scoring every stereotype during an unforgettable night which cue plot twist they forget.
The genius premise, of the protagonists trying to work their way back through the night, delighted both viewers and critics. It also introduced the world to nerd extraordinaire Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, and Bradley Cooper. Funny, sharp, and clever enough to flip the clichs, The Hangover is a must-see and available on Netflix right now.
Gary Oldman, Christian Slater, and a title that promises much. Sadly, this sub-par Quentin Tarantino tribute act largely misses the mark but its not without its good bits. The critics destroyed it but the viewers take is quirky, borderline tacky, and fun stupid fun. Want to give it a whirl? Its on Amazon Prime enjoy
Win It All is a critically acclaimed 2017 film from director Joe Swanberg. Its a Netflix Originals movie and tells the tale of hopeless gambler Eddie who agrees to stash a bag for an acquaintance who is headed to prison. Curiosity rears its head, Eddie opens the bag, finds money, and goes gambling. Next, we find out that the prisoner is getting out early and wants his bag of money. Will Eddie win it all back? Entertaining, sparky, original, and a solid 85% on Rotten Tomatoes.
With his hangdog, dour, looks, The Cooler was a role made for actor William H. Macy. Bernie Lootz aka The Cooler is a living jinx; used by Las Vegas casino management to stop winning streaks and take the win out of a table. In the film, Lootz falls in love and flips the jinx; helping players clean up at the blackjack and baccarat tables. Smart, complex, and available on Amazon Prime.
Stylish, witty, and packed with stars, Oceans Eleven is a ridiculously enjoyable heist movie that makes Las Vegas look almost as good as its cast of A-listers, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Julia Roberts. Beautifully shot and directed by Steven Soderbergh, Oceans Eleven is streaming now on Amazon Prime.
Based on the true story of Las Vegas legend Frank Rosenthal, Casino is Martin Scorseses masterpiece about the evolution of Las Vegas. No other film has ever given the casino such a central role, with support from Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone. If you have never seen it, this is definitely not one to miss. Its on Prime.
Set a generation earlier than Casino, Bugsy tells the true-life story of gangster Bugsy Siegel. The 1991 film was directed by Barry Levinson and stars Warren Beatty as its eponymous hero. Siegel was the inspiration behind modern Las Vegas and built the Strips first hotel the Flamingo in 1946. An amazing story and yours to enjoy on both Prime and YouTube.
No list of casino-themed films can be complete without at least one James Bond movie. Casino Royale is one of the most iconic. In the 2006 film, the Casino Royale is supposed to be in Montenegro. Its actually the five-star Grandhotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary, Czechoslovakia. One of the best 007 out of 10.
This film is a favourite with Poker fans. Its a brilliant portrayal of the world of high stakes underground poker and its many perils. Stand out performances from Matt Damon and Ed Norton make this a winning hand. Deal it out on Prime.
Terry Gilliam and Johnny Depp do a half-decent job of putting Hunter S. Thompsons drug-addled, insane, Las Vegas road trip on film. It split the critics but Depp gives the performance he was born to deliver watch out for the bats.
Mark Wahlberg stars in this cautionary tale of a literature professor who spirals into a cycle of self-destructive gambling. His secret life eventually catches up with him and drama ensues. Weighty stuff but worth a watch.
If Blackjack is your game, this movie needs to be on your bucket list. This true-life story of Harvard card counters beating the casino, under the tutelage of rogue professor MIcky Rosa, played by Kevin Spacey. The critics gave it a rinsing but its worth a look on Prime; especially, if you want to learn the secrets of beating blackjack.
Set in a London casino, Croupier is a masterpiece of low key, understated, cinema, from director Mike Hodges. Starring Clive Owen as a failing writer looking for inspiration, Croupier combines the search for human truths with a slick thriller. It all kicks off in the casino. Arguably, the best on this list. Check it out on Amazon Prime today.
Adam Sandler turns in the performance of his career in the brilliant thriller Uncut Gems. It tells the story of hapless gambler and jeweller Howard Ratner and his battles with debt, the mob, and a six-way parlay. Its definitely one to watch and its on Netflix right now.
