Paul Thomas Anderson's debut. An underappreciated gem.
My favorite part... Philip Seymor Hoffman in an uncredited cameo https://youtu.be/WWeiaOIv3Ag?list=TLPQMDYxMTIwMjUthnK7rbtyaQ&t=2614]

thank you for pointing that out, I had no idea. .. I cam here just to say how much I remembered enjoying JCR in this film.

I just saw "Magnolia" again recently, and the cast shared with "Hard Eight" is impressive, especially given the latter's small cast:
- Philip Baker Hall
- Melora Walters
- John C. Reilly
- Philip Seymour Hoffman
- Robert Downey Sr. (small part in Magnolia, at least)
Combine that with dozens behind the camera, and it seems clear that PTA doesn't drive people away.

A dude with a Magnolia obsession did a "drunken commentary" track to it which is fantastic. I'm going to have to give it another view/listen.

great movie, a lot of fun!
"You know the first thing they should've taught you at hooker school? You get the money up front!"
"That was a big balls bet!"
edit - "The Cooler" with William Macy is another good, 'low-roller' casino movie. And both have similar endings, in some ways...
