I haven't seen the Baltimore Bullet. I'll have to check that one out.
Couldn't find the hustler but, here is the color of money.

It started at 10 p.m. on TCM here in the Sacramento area.

I agree. I would go a bit further and say, pool story aside, it is one of the greatest movies EVER.
If you peel its layers, the movie is NOT really about pool; it's about love, loyalty,
learning about who one really is and what one is willing to do in certain circumstances.
Understandably, many call The Hustler a "pool movie."
Sure, it has that element, but the pool playing is merely the vehicle for the plot itself.
Many will disagree with my assessment, but that's okay. It's just an opinion. Be well.

Somewhat authentic. When was the last time you played 14.1 and banged the balls around like that? Don't get me wrong it was a great movie but you don't do trick shots when playing 14.1. The object of 14.1 is to stay on the table.
Had the DVR set to auto record. Nice to wake up and see it in my library.

Respectfully, I think these two films are apples and oranges. They both have to do with pool, but other than that, have nothing in common. I feel like the Baltimore Bullet should have been good, but it just wasn't. Cheesy with a side of cheese. I wanted to like the characters, but I couldn't. TCOM was the movie BB could or might have been.
A few more to add to the collection..... Enjoy

I want Fast Eddie's cue. It might be the most valuable cue ever made. I think it's a Rambo? I watched the movie last night (50th) time and I might know the lines better than anyone. Best scene is when Fast Eddie asks Bert to move and Bert moves his chair one inch. Classic touch. My question to anyone who knows is: Did they really employ those ladies at Ames to clean and brush the tables?
I use this every match up.
"Do you like to gamble Eddie? Gamble money on pool games?
First time I said that out of the blue, 2 guys had to go outside they were laughing so hard.
