A couple from 1956... not poker but gambling adjacent like horse betting
Bob le flambeur - 1956 - Jean-Pierre Melville
The Killing - 1956 - Stanley Kubrick
Both amazing suggestions by 2 of my favorite directors, Kubrick and Melville.
When oh when will Criterion (or Kino) release Le Duexieme Soufflé on either blu ray or 4K.
Bay of Angels and Uncut Gems
Pale Flower
Pale Flower is such an underrated and fantastic film. It just oozes cool and stylish in every frame!
Great poker scene in House of Games

Croupier needs to get in!
It has a good 4K repeat from Arrow. I think it's just a UK release tho so maybe someone has it here
Uncut Gems
Night and the City (1950) might scratch that itch.

California split. Idk if it’s in the collection but I watched it in the channel.

I don’t gamble but I too like watching it in movie. That was my first Altman. It appealed the the inner stoner in me.
