"You only exist out here because of ME, that's the only reason!" Casino hands down.

Ocean's 11 (original) followed by Ocean's Eleven (2001) followed by Casino (all three being VERY different from each other.

Come on, OP, you put 3000 Miles to Graceland as a choice but not Ocean's Eleven? I'm surprised you didn't put Pay it Forward on there.

No soup for you!

Casino is the best from the choices, but my personal favorite is Corvette Summer.

I'm shocked!

Casino leading in votes in a poll with Fear and Loathing and Leaving Las Vegas also as a option. Hell, I'd vote for Pay It Foward before I would Casino.

BTW- Hard choice between F&L and LLV, I vote for Leaving Las Vegas.

I enjoyed The Cooler, Leaving Las Vegas, Ocean's Eleven (2001), Casino, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

I would have to say Casino was my favorite because I love the genre that exists outsite of the Las Vegas background.

I voted Vegas Vacation, just makes me laugh. Casino was a close second. I forgot about Oceans's 11 and I also thought of Swingers.

I think Casino is a much better movie then fear and loathing,heck, fear and loathing would not even make my top 5 Vegas movies list,I remember when fear and loathing came out,it was a huge bomb,nobody liked it,reviewers gave it terrible reviews,but since criterion put out a dvd of it i guess it becomes a classic now lol

Would I still enjoy Leaving Las Vegas in a surprising manner even if as an audience know about the tragic end or loss of a certain character?

I seriously doubt the Criterion disc brought that much attention to Fear and Loathing. It was a cult classic before the Criterion just as it is now. It's a classic book you know?

Fear and Loathing....

I am a big fan of Casino and 3000 miles to Graceland, but F&L gets my vote for any poll its in.
