I know the following:

The Hustler (1961)

The Color of Money (1986)

Poolhall Junkies (2002)

The Twilight Zone Ep. A game of Pool (1961)

The Honeymooners (I forget what episode)


What am I missing?
 
Stickmen released in 2001. There was also the Baltimore Bullet.

There was a episode or Family Matters where Eddie Winslow gets hustled then Carl, and mama Winslow save the day when she sharks the hustlers with a 2 rail kick for 500. That episode had me LMAO!! So Fake
 
Io, Chiara e lo Scuro (1982) and il signor Quindicipalle ( Mr. 15 balls, 1998). Both are italians films and talks about italian billiards and pool, don't expect the quality of the Hustler but they are good films especially if you are a pool fan. Maybe they are not translated in english.
 
Speaking of pool in tv episodes, there was an American Dad where Roger had a short clip playing pool. He miscues and says to the guy hes playing "you hustlin me boy", it was actually pretty funny.
 
Thanks for all the info.

Will look most of them up.

Can't believe I forgot the Baltimore Bullet.
 
There was a porn flick called Rack'em Up with Kira Kener. Does that count? Turn the River also was a mainstream flick.
 
Shooting Gallery is being shown on Showtime this month. I watched a couple of minutes. It gotta be by far the worst pool themed movies- EVER.
 
There is a movie called "9-Ball" starring Jennifer Baretta that has been in the works for a long time... i think it fianlly came out but went straight to DVD...

Stickmen, which was reference earlier was kinda fun... and althogh not pool related, if you like pool movies or gambling movie in general.. and indy film called "Bookies" was rather entertaining
 
the Baron...with johnny cash, turn the river.....Kiss shot..woopie goldberg
