When we think of poker in film, it is hard not to think of Paul Newman.
Whether as prisoner Luke Jackson, repeatedly calling out to "kick a buck" with nothing but air in Cool Hand Luke (1967), or as con man Henry Gondorff surprisingly turning over quad jacks to outcheat a cheater in The Sting (1973), Newman's grinning mug necessarily springs to mind whenever someone sets out to compile a short list of the silver screen's best poker scenes.
By the time of his passing in 2008, Newman had appeared in over 60 films, with America's favorite card game popping up in more than a few of them.
