The only casino scene from James Bond that I am familiar with is the Casino Royale, didn't expect that his opponent was not the villain at all. I love the scene there were Bond seems to know that he will win against Le Chiffre which in turn resulted to him making a mistake.
Same here! In fact, Casino Royale was the first ever James Bond I saw (big fan of Daniel Craig). The poker scenes were interesting.
One other casino related movie I like (besides Oceans 11) is "21". A movie about counting cards in blackjack, starring Kevin Spacey.
Ooh, the classic 21 that really focused on blackjack game, I also liked that. But I would also like to suggest the opposites. James Bond movies were infact good yet it wasn't really about gambling nor highlights important sides of gambling, its plot revolves on pure action. Hence, why not try watching The Gambler
[1]? Far from the action genre, The Gambler depicts gambling addiction, which is preferable for newbies to watch, as a warning on what would lead you when you would be addicted to gambling.
(I'm still fan of Casino Royale tho, Daniel Craig remains the best James Bond actor)

I like also the story of "The Gambler" and hopefully a lot of gambling addicts will get something to think about after watching that film.
