OK, Scavs, but trust me on this....watch " The Sting " and then watch " The Hustler. " There is less than no chance you won't love them both.

The pool games between Newman and Jackie Gleason in " The Hustler " are beyond great....as is the whole movie.

Isn't the Color of Money written as a sequel to The Hustler?

Yes.....and while it's entertaining, it absolutely sucks compared to " The Hustler."

Scav, put away the x-box for a day and see The Hustler, The Cincinnati Kid and The Gambler. You'll be glad you did.

Well.. good to see the cat got out of the bag on this!

Speaking of which.. and film references: "Cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river..."

A line from another film I urge everyone here to add to their list with 'Sting' and 'Hustler'..

Here's another hint: "Relax pal.. that horseradish won't jump a fence.."
