The Hustler obviously. Go watch it if you haven't. Gleason was the most impressive IMO.

Do you mean The Duellists, 1977, with Keith Carradine, Harvey Keitel, and Albert Finney? Winner of the Palm d'Or and Best First Work for Ridley Scott at Cannes?


No. Don't watch that one. It sucks...

Best of Paul Newmans early work
Also Piper Laurie and George C Scott were excellent

 

[Quasar44]

Well it doesn't suck...

Like average or slightly above

 

[rightwinger]

Haven’t seen The Duelist

But recommend The Gunfighter 1950 with Gregory Peck as Johnny Ringo

 

[hjmick]

Like average or slightly above

Better than average.

 

[Quasar44]

Better than average.

Does it have a lot of intense pool matches in seedy places for big $$$

His match with Minnesota Fats was classic

No, it's not The Hustler. If you're interested in a movie like The Hustler, try The Color of Money (1986) starring Tom Cruise as Vincent and Paul Newman as Fast Eddie Felson.
Yes, it is the sequel to The Hustler.

Actually, it is quite good.

Yeah, I know.

Sarcasm doesn't translate well in the written word. I wasn't sure my first two sentences combined the third saying it "sucked" would convey my sarcasm, that's why I added Gene Wilder rolling his eyes...

Pretty sure I saw the Hustler by parental force when I was a kid when it came on TV on a rainy day but I recall nothing about it. Never even heard of the other one--does it involve Aaron Burr murdering someone?

 

[Quasar44]

Yeah, I know.

So both movies are good
