The pool movies are a collection film, television, and video games about the game pool. These movies feature a variety of different players and action. These movies range from serious to humorous. No matter your level of expertise, there are great options.
Many of the films emphasize the human drama. But there are great action scenes. Many pool movies feature trick shots. Trick shots show mastery and creativity in tough situations. These are often not seen during a game but they are very common in pool movies.
Another classic is "The Hustler" by Walter Tevis. This film was originally a story. But it became a 1961 billiards-blazing movie. The success of this movie triggered a revival of billiards and has been credited as the reason for the sport's resurgence.
The Baltimore Bullet and The Color of Money are two other notable pool movies. Both films are excellent but the former is more enjoyable. The Baltimore Bullet also stars Willie Mosconi the famous pool shark, who has been inducted to the BCA Hall of Fame.
"The Baltimore Bullet" is a film about two sloppy pool hustlers. They try to set up a big game. The cast includes Allen Hopkins, Jim Rempe, Richie Florence, Pete Margo, and "The Miz" Steve Mizerak.
Many films were made during the 1930s to reflect the social norms of that time. This film takes place during that era and has a cast of characters living on the margins of society. In addition to the main cast, there are some other actors who appear in the movie.
There are a few great trick shots to enjoy in Poolhall Junkies. A masse shot is one such trick. A masse shot is a tricky trick that can be difficult for anyone who has ever tried it.
Another notable trick shot in the film is the "goodbye Johnny” and the “Do It for the Game.” The first is a nice way to demonstrate how a player might use a dead bank. The second, although it isn't in the movie, is a smart way to teach a person how to play billiards.
There are many other movies with a billiards theme. There are also a few comedy-based pool movies. A few movies are all about the sport. The movie "Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire" even has a snooker match as its main focus.
Besides the above-mentioned pool-related movies, there are a handful of TV shows and short films that feature billiards. You can find a list of them below.
On the other side, there are a few subpar movies that do the billiards thing. "Goodbye Johnny" is not a great movie. Although the movie highlights well-executed shots well, its plot is somewhat unimaginative.
