My review of The Hustlers: https://www.billiardsmovies.com/the-hustlers/

Over the years, I've identified almost 150 billiards-themed print advertisements for non-billiards products. (So, no Brunswick ads, no TV commercials, etc. Just print.) My uncle, who is a creative director for an ad agency, and I had fun discussing our favorites. Read the full blog post. If...

There's always the Russian billiards film Klassik. My review: https://www.billiardsmovies.com/klassik/

@Guy Manges - One example of a US billiards movie not focused on gambling is HeartBreak (2019). Kind of a mixed bag movie -- you can read my review here: https://www.billiardsmovies.com/heartbreak-2/ I agree it's unfortunate that the genre seems to over rely on the standard tropes of gambling...

Recently found this poster and trailer for a 2019 Chinese billiards movie called "Metal Billiard" (or "Alloy Billiards") about a dude who shoots pool with a metal arm. Trailer looks entertaining, though subtitles would help :unsure: Have found snippets online, but looking for any knowledge of...

@bradsh98 pretty much nailed it. Here's my review from my blog: https://www.billiardsmovies.com/hard-luck-love-song/

My review from my blog: https://www.billiardsmovies.com/break/

I agree -- it's a feel-good, feels-long, kind of movie. I just reviewed it on my blog, if you're interested. https://www.billiardsmovies.com/toolsidas-junior/

Over the past few months, I was doing some research on how and when billiards has featured into game shows over the years. I wrote this blog post recently that addresses some of the history, but I imagine I left out some examples. Curious to hear your thoughts...

There wasn't much press, and I still can't find it on IMDB, but in May 2020 a new carom billiards movie came out of South Korea called Sixball. I found it for free, with English subtitles, and it's worth the watch. Here's my review, which also includes links to the trailer and to the video...

Thanks for sharing @evergruven. I've had great fun compiling that list and slowly reviewing those films and TV episodes over the past 7 years.

Jay, thanks so much for sharing. A few years back I wrote a blog post about my own hunt for "The Player." Of course, it pales in comparison to your efforts, though I did end up finding a very short trailer for the film that I'm assuming you've seen. Happy to share.

For my 200th blog post on billiards movies and TV shows, I tried to celebrate the sport by honoring the Top 10 Pool Players Playing Pool in movies and TV episodes. http://www.billiardsmovies.com/top-10-pool-players-playing-pool-in-movies/ Note 1: This list intentionally excludes those...

Nine-ball, New Orleans, and Negan... this movie had all the right ingredients. Too bad it really botched the job. Here's my review: http://www.billiardsmovies.com/walkaway-joe/

Want respect in pool? Try acting like a man. Earlier this month, Bravo aired the gender-bending social experiment series In a Man's World. The first episode "Emily" starred Emily Duddy, who turned into "Alex" in order to highlight sexism in the sport. Here's my review...

I'm assuming many of you saw the news that Rutger Hauer has been cast to star in the upcoming snooker movie "Break." As such, I went into my archives and surfaced the interview I did with the movie's writer/director Michael Elkin. Here's my blog post -- enjoy...

This episode was "Water Park" from the year 2000. http://www.billiardsmovies.com/billiards-tv-episodes/malcolm-middle-water-park/

I've got a list of 123 television episodes that feature pool. A lot of them are not sitcoms, and many have been mentioned already in this thread. Still, should be some goodies in here for everyone. http://www.billiardsmovies.com/complete-list-of-movies-shorts-and-tv-shows/
