The Hustler (8.2/10)

After enjoying The Color of Money, I felt compelled to watch the original 1961 film. Seeing Paul Newman in his prime was awesome, especially after watching some of his later work past age 65. Though it’s in black and white, the film still feels timeless for avid movie fans "A pool shark's travels from one seedy playing room to another, lead him to a potentially life-changing showdown with the legendary Minnesota Fats. Set in the shady world of smoke-filled pool halls, this is a portrait of a damaged character who fears winning as much as losing."
