I will go first with the John Wick 4 Killer poker scene and of course Casino Royale. Not looking for movies with plots completely based on card playing.(like 21) Please post your favourite scenes. Cheers

The Ocean’s 11 (2001) comes to mind as does a couple of episodes of West Wing that had scenes with card games.

I seem to recall Maverick(1994) having a good card game as a central plot element, which takes place on a river boat casino. It’s also just a really fun movie about three competing con artists (played by James Garner, Mel Gibson, and Jodie Foster).
It’s been a few years since I’ve seen it, and it’s set in the old west, so sorry if it has any racisms I forgot about!

The next generation has some poker scenes. There’s one episode where they are stuck in a simulation of a casino and can’t escape.

Well Casino Royale comes instantly to mind
Also the oceans series.
I fact I’ve noticed many heist movies have one. Not just oceans 11 etc where the heist in based at a casino. I could talk about why for an hour but I’ll spare you.
I believe rififi starts this way

Terence Hill has many awesome card playing scenes in his movies like this one. No idea what the English or Italian title is.
