The pool movies are a collection film, television, and video games about the game pool. These movies feature a variety of different players and action. Some movies are more serious than others. Others are more humorous. There are many great options for both newbies and seasoned professionals.
A lot of the films focus on the human drama. But there are great action scenes. And there are several pool movies which feature trick shots. Trick shots are unique moves that show creativity and mastery when faced with difficult situations. Although they are not often seen in a game of pool, they are quite popular in pool movies.
Walter Tevis's classic film "The Hustler," is another. This movie was originally a short story, but it eventually became a 1961 billiards-blazing movie. Its success led to a revival of billiards. The movie is credited with this sport's recovery.
The Baltimore Bullet's "The Color of Money", another notable pool movie, is "The Baltimore Bullet". Both films are great, but the original is better. The Baltimore Bullet also features Willie Mosconi (the legendary pool shark), who was inducted into The BCA Hall of Fame.
"The Baltimore Bullet" is a film about two sloppy pool hustlers. They attempt to organize a huge game. Allen Hopkins, Jim Rempe Richie Florence and Pete Margo are part of the cast. Steve Mizerak is "The Miz" Steve Mizerak.
Many movies from the 1930s were focused on social trends. This film takes place during that era and has a cast of characters living on the margins of society. The movie features some actors in addition to the main cast.
There are a few great trick shots to enjoy in Poolhall Junkies. A masse shot is an example of such a trick. You'll be able to tell how difficult a masse shot can be if you've played one.
Another notable trick shot in the film is the "goodbye Johnny” and the “Do It for the Game.” The first one is a way to show how a bank can be used by a player. The second, although it isn't in the movie, is a smart way to teach a person how to play billiards.
Of course, there are lots of other movies that feature a billiards theme. You can find a lot of funny pool movies. A few movies focus entirely on the sport. Even the movie "Billy the Kid and the Green Baize Vampire," is based on a snooker competition.
Other than the movies that are pool-related, there are short films and TV shows that feature billiards. Here is a complete list.
There are however a few poor movies that attempt to do the billiards-related thing. "Goodbye Johnny," though, is a bit mediocre. While the movie does a nice job of highlighting well-executed shots, its plot is somewhat unimaginative.
