I don't really think of The Sting as a gambling movie. Top 5 confidence game/caper movie for sure.



The whole movie was based around gambling. They stole the number runners money at the beginning, they set up the con during a game of poker and the con they run is based on betting on horses. Every moment of the movie hinges on gambling.

You know what? I think you're right. I was thinking of Full Metal Jacket.

I believe most of "The Cooler" wouldn't be allowed on TV.

It's a good movie. Baldwin is great in it.

I hope our little game isn't causing you to prespire.
