Given the Oscars still awards Best performance by an Actress in a Leading Role, I think it's safe to say the term is still used in the industry.

As someone who has written about billiards movies for over a decade (www.billiardsmovies.com), I'll say I'm pretty jazzed about this announcement. Sure, a lot of unknowns, and it's entirely possible the movie will never get made, but the package of a well-known director, well-known actor, and...

The director (Loren Marsh) is currently only showing at different screenings around the country. I believe he is still seeking wider distribution. I too am awaiting an update when it will be available to watch nationally or streaming, etc. I suggest following the movie's Facebook page to keep...

For those who love billiards movies as much as I do, a new film about billiards -- "Night to Be Gone" -- is making its way around the country, with an upcoming screening in Brooklyn, NY on Thur, 11/9. Director Loren Marsh will be present to talk about the movie and the pool shots, which were...

I really wish it had been a better movie.. It had so much promise! (My review: https://www.billiardsmovies.com/hard-knuckle/)

If a picture is worth a 1,000 words, how many words is a good billiards poster worth? I don't know, but I've looked at a lot of billiards movie posters over the years. This is my Top 10 list. Any you would add? Note: this is not an endorsement of these movies.

@Bob Jewett - Have to love this history of Belgian billiards magazines, dating back to 1879. (Google Translate was able to convert all the Dutch to English for me.) https://bcdedeken.be/history-/belgische-biljartmagazines-/

Arnaldo, thank you for the very kind comments. My posts do require a great deal of research and writing, but receiving comments like yours makes it worth it every time. I have considered the idea of coverting the posts into something published. Other priorities keep interfering, but the idea...

Here is Part 2 of the blog post -- i.e., the rest of the awards winners https://www.billiardsmovies.com/inaugural-billiards-themed-non-billiards-magazine-awards-part-2/

Bowling. Chess. Ballooning. They've all been on the cover of Sports Illustrated (US). But, not billiards. Fortunately, I've discovered more than 170 other magazines that have put billiards professionals or billiards imagery on their covers. They span 100 years, criss-crossing the globe and...

@ChrisinNC - the list is chronological, from oldest to most recent. If the list were organized by preference, TCOM would be in the #2 spot.

As this thread is now over 10 years old, here's an updated list I put together. https://www.billiardsmovies.com/complete-list-of-movies-shorts-and-tv-shows/

I found it on online. I do not have physical issues.

Stumbled across "All About Pool" from the mid-90s, but don't know much else.

Great additions @Bob Jewett. I added some dates to your sheet.

Yes

Recently, as I was doing some research for an upcoming post on my blog 8 Ball on the Silver Screen, I started to identify billiards magazines, past and present, from around the world. I’ve found 61 so far, most no longer published. You can see sample covers of each one here. Which ones am I...
