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

I've only ever seen the end of Maverick, and my sole memory from it is that in a 4 or 5 person deal, every single player gets an exceptional hand, enough to more or less guarantee victory in 99% of hands dealt. Naturally, everyone goes all in and most of them regret it!

It's so great.

And the scene is even better on a rewatch.

Spoiler for Maverick

Since the dealer is a cheater with their own motives, if I recall correctly.

"Two small pair...8s and 8s" is still a staple at family card games.
