The best pool movie ever made is "The Hustler"
The second-best is "Honest John" with W.C. Fields
There isn't another one that's even half-decent

I stand corrected. Or sit
That's Keith in the beige jacket with Robin Dodson.
Awesome Jam!!
Had to chuckle a bit over the photo. My guess..one of many photos taken back in the day using a Kodak "Instamatic" camera. Fuzzy focus guaranteed...
Only pros or serious amateur photographers packed a 35mm single lens reflex camera.
Anyway...it's historical...thanks for posting.

Through out the movie, people were telling eddie that he was good but he shot lucky. He got sick of it and decided to show how beautiful the game could be. (which was a mistake). He explained all of this when he and Sarah went on a picnic.
Agreed, the scene with Forrest Whitaker's character and Newman's has to be the best scene in the movie...Whitaker owned that role as Amos.
The other camera that was real popular with amaturs were those use once, get film developed cameras. Where you shot the roll, took the camera to one hour photo, or drug store, and got pictures back in 2 - 5 days.
Funny thing is you could actually get good photo with those cameras. As below:

Both movies were monumental moments in cinema for pool.
Each follow a similar plot, but the delivery is what makes the movies so different.
One was about a champion who was his own worst enemy.
The other was about a youngster finding his way.
Both entirely relevant and almost incomparable in their own right, though the theme absolutely ties them together; along with Felson being a main character in both.
I often wonder if that was done to use the clout which The Hustler had gained, or if was an actual attempt at a making COM appear to be a genuine sequel to The Hustler.
I honestly like both films for how they pretty much showed "the life" during each era.
I wasn't born yet when The Hustler was made so I kind of appreciate that one a little more for giving me insight to the past.
I'm going to watch both again this week.

Hustler & Color of Money are still shown once in a while on TV, if I know they will be on, I watch em. Both are still great no matter how many time I watch em.
Absolutely - no contest.
Word was he got the TCOM Oscar as a compensation for being nominated for Best Actor in Hustler but not winning it (Maximilian Schell won it for Judgment at Nuremberg).

Neither the first nor last time this happened at the Oscars.
Agree that "the Hustler" was a great performance by Newman, but the award each year is based on competition for that given year; not how good an actor was compared to prior performances.
