More than forty years later and that movie is more timely than ever before. And getting timelier.
Unfortunately.

Two films with my favorite actor Jim Caviezel:
"When the Game Stands Tall" and
"Bobby Jones, Stroke of Genius"

Thank you all for your responses!
This thread was in fact prompted by recently watching The Hustler for the first time. I am fascinated by games (ludology) but for some reason find the rules to most of them difficult to learn.
I think I was expecting more poker movies, especially given poker's recent popularity (though I don't believe in gambling myself). I also enjoy the old "Climax!" episode of Casino Royale from the 50s. Are there any bridge movies?
One would think there would be more movies about chess than there are. Although Searching for Bobby Fischer is worth more than thirty mediocre movies on the same subject.
