Hustler Picture (basement decor)
- Thread starter fjk
- Start date
The Hustler pictures deserve standing alone like one wall or the staircase as you mentioned. Tough call then to finish out with pictures from that era or from other movies. Maybe The Hustler and The Color of Money on opposing walls and real players from those eras on the midwalls. Maybe from other movies? A still or two from Uncle Phil's pool games or from Gunsmoke's "A game of pool". Reminds me, the best of the Far Side "A Game of Pool" would be nice. If started down that line a picture or two of the vampire pool game would nice too.
Just as well I want a big table and a small one at a minimum, I am going to need a lot of wall!

I had my Marketing guys find good quality images. Then I hired these guys to make them up for me. I just called them, and they said they it's OK to post their contact info.
nice but you are missing Bert.. I recommend this..
Bert Gordon: Sure you got drunk. You have the best excuse in the world for losing; no trouble losing when you got a good excuse. Winning... that can be heavy on your back, too, like a monkey. You'll drop that load too when you got an excuse. All you gotta do is learn to feel sorry for yourself. One of the best indoor sports, feeling sorry for yourself. A sport enjoyed by all, especially the born losers.

Those chairs are pretty cool. Where did they come from? You should build a step for them so they're high enough to look over the table.

Looks cool! I have this one hanging in my pool room. Signed by Tom cruise & Paul Newman.
“Hello Eddie’s girl.” My favorite line in the movie.
Well, as long as we're sharing... for what seems like forever, a very good friend of mine has been remodeling his man cave -- the center piece being a 9' oak Diamond mit light.
Back around late 2020, when he began, I offered him a piece of "The Hustler" movie memorabilia out of the "Figueroa Pool Collection" to help him with the decor. He said (wait for it): yes. I told him great, it was his, but to be sure to be sitting down when they told him how much it'd be to frame it.
I'll just post a photo of my part of the decor since I don't have permission to post up photos of his near complete project. But let me just tell, the room came out pretty awesome.

Not sure if Muellers sold them back then. I have similar.I guess I got this poster 20 years ago, or more. Can't remember where, though.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's where I got it. Seems like they carried lots of posters, tin signs, etc., back then.
