One of Scorseses most underrated movies

Love this movie. Too bad so many didn’t appreciate it. It has such a cool 80s vibe. It actually earned an Oscar nomination for Art Direction for the interiors of all those pool hauls. The Atlantic City scenes were incredible. Michael Ballhaus did a great job shooting the numerous sets and of course, the pool games.

1:24-28 must be an outtake. Wasn't in final film!

[TJ-]

Tom Cruise is legit in Scorsese's roster, it's so dope. The Hustler is a good one too, Paul Newman is so badass!

Fast Eddie Felson was a legend in pool halls all across America

[SlitchBatty]

Eddie needed that inspiration that comes from the win once again

[markgalura]

3:24 This sequence actually in the film?? Don't remember this.

[SlitchBatty]

He was the best, he knew he was the best and that he would always be the best

[davidharris]

It's fuckin bollocks they don't make movies like this anymore

[SlitchBatty]

Sure he had his moments when he had let his guard down; but Fast Eddie Felson forever remained the best

[SlitchBatty]

Vince didn't need Eddie anymore, but he did need Eddie when he was just a two-bit local poolshark.

[SlitchBatty]

Eddie needed Vince and Vince needed Eddie until he realized he didn't Eddie anymore.

[SlitchBatty]

And so fast Eddie Felson learned a new sport... Fast Eddie Felson became a coach

[SlitchBatty]

Sometimes the table just gives up itself... And then sometimes you lose

[SlitchBatty]

This is a story about a man who was the best at his art form... A man that could only be beat if he let himself be beaten

[SlitchBatty]

It wasn't something that could be taught or even shared he would soon realize

[SlitchBatty]

This is a story about that same man as he grows old

[catherinelamprakes]

Fast Eddie, fats, legends in nine ball!

[SlitchBatty]

And so Fast Eddie Felson had to prove himself once again all over unto a new generation of up and coming stars namely Vincent his protege
