We have put together a list of the top three best casino movies of all time, so you don’t have to wonder what movie to watch next.
The most popular casino movies have gained lots of popularity primarily because of their use of dramatic surroundings, criminal masterminds and likeable main characters. The best casino movies often involve a lot of action and entertainment, and typically contain a complex and captivating storyline. Though casino movies mostly have an entertaining output, you might also learn something while watching.
For a lot of people, who haven’t tried playing poker or tried gambling before, gambling can seem quite complex. But you can learn a lot about gambling by watching casino movies. Having said this, there will be a lot of stuff you need to know about gambling, which you can’t learn exclusively by watching movies.
So, if these movies inspire you, and you find yourself wanting to try out online gambling, you can go to https://www.americancasinoguide.com/. Here you’ll find a guide to the best American online casinos.
Almost everyone interested in casino-related movies knows the movie “Casino Royale.” The movie was released in 2006 and features the British secret agent, James Bond, who sets out to save the world. This is the first movie where the reliable Bond gets played by actor Daniel Craig, who has earned a lot of popularity through his career starring as 007. If you are a fan of the Bond movies, the latest one, “No Time to Die,” just had its premiere and will soon arrive on DVD and Blu-ray.
“The Hangover” is one of the most hilarious and perhaps also the most ridiculous casino movies. This American comedy movie was released in 2009 and centers around the slogan “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” which is quite adequate taking the narrative into perspective. Two days before his wedding, the main character, Doug, along with his three buddies, travel to Las Vegas. But on what was supposed to be one of the most memorable nights of his life, everything goes completely wrong. If you like gambling and laughing a lot, we highly recommend watching “The Hangover” with your friends.
The movie “Casino” is a good old casino classic, which contributed to making Las Vegas famous. The main character, former criminal Sam Rothstein, is played by Robert De Niro. The American gangster film from 1995 is directed and written by Martin Scorsese, and tells the story of a Mafia boss who lets the gambler, Rothstein, manage his casino, which as you can probably imagine, ends up offering a lot of conflicts, action and drama.

Utopia is set to release YOU CAN’T KILL MEME, an all new feature documentary that explores the silently powerful world of political meme culture and how it can be used and exploited for political gain, on digital platforms on December 7th, 2021.
A political meme is a purposefully designed visual framing of a position that is created to deliver an inside joke, trigger an emotional reaction and create a sense of belonging. Memes are an entirely new form of political communication and attempts to use them for good and ill are growing rapidly.
A feature debut by director/cinematographer Hayley Garrigus, YOU CAN’T KILL MEME follows her three-year descent into the anonymous internet underworld to explore the genesis of “memetic magic” and how memes have provided an entirely new way of articulating beliefs. The documentary includes interviews with individuals that post memes online from both sides of the political aisle, as well as with “lightworkers” and author of Memetic Magic: Manipulation of the Root Social Matrix and the Fabric of Reality, R. Kirk Patwood. The film also features interviews with Billy Brujo, Carole Michaella, Sean Bell, Nick Peterson, Mason Inglaessia, “User 666” and “Marianne” among others.
YOU CAN’T KILL MEME was produced by Samuel Gursky and Kerry Mack, with editing by Michael Beuttler and Hayley Garrigus, and original music by Tom Moore and Michael Beuttler.
