Top-Tens

Gambling in the movies is about much more than chance, money, luck or
even victory. The gambler is on a quest, a journey of some kind through
the random complexities of the game, leaning on the rules and rubric,
hoping to discover much about his nerve and character, raising the
stakes, flirting with oblivion, pushing this cruel kind of
self-exploration to its very limits. FilmSlash looks at the top ten movies of one of cinema's most exciting genres.

More than any other medium, cinema is reliant upon a number of independent art forms. It is music, however, with which film seems to have the most integral and mesmerising relationship. Such musical flourishes are both isolated and encompassed within the world of the film, offering a strange but exhilarating experience for the audience—especially by existing within dramatic movies rather than musicals.
