“Hey, I’m back!” I always loved that ending.

One of the most uplifting movie endings I've ever seen. That last line, his determination, that smile-- just wonderful. 💪

Paul Newman was 60 when they filmed ''Color of Money''. Tom Cruise turned 60 this year.

Cruise is now the same age Paul Newman was when this was filmed. Shows how fast time flies.

Tom Cruise needs to make a sequel now

I saw The Color of Money first, and I thought it was about Vinnie and Eddie both. Then I saw The Hustler, and I realized both films are about Eddie, and life.

“Hey… I’m back!” 🎱 🤘

One of the coolest scenes in any movie

One of the best film's ever made in my opinion. One day I'm having a date with a good bottle of whiskey, snacks, soda water, pizza and the Hustler followed by the Colour of money. Either alone or with a woman. God I would love Cruise to do a sequel where he has evolved into a Fast Eddyesque type character.

Everything about the movie is flawless but it's the dialogue, especially in this scene, that is so perfect. It's real but stylized and captures the essence of the piece and every individual character within it.

It doesn't really matter whether Eddie Felson wins or loses since he has already won by giving up the money Vincent gives him. Spiritually and morally, Eddie Felson has rearmed, he's back to being the whole boy who learns his lesson at the end of The Hustler. Whether he wins or loses the games with Vincent, Eddie will be unwavering and confident, and that will be his victory. those kinds of lessons are vital, they are not learned in the game and they certainly have nothing to do with "winning or losing".

Terrific film. Tom Cruise was perfect for the part & played it very well. As for Paul Newman, if he could ever be better than he was in “The Hustler”, this was it. Superb!

Paul Newman is so dang good in this movie.

What a movie....The reason I started playing pool some 30 years ago and the reason I still do even now when I can't see the fuckin' balls anymore..

perfect role for cruise as he played himself and newman well a class act

Paul Newman cool AF

What makes you so sure...the look....brilliant!!

Sure reminds me of someone I once new. This chick in Houston was working the tables, she was unbelievable. Tamara.. what a unbelievable player she was. I watch her just tear them up on the greens. May the Queen always play.

What A Great Film! RIP Paul Newman 👏🙏🏾!

God I miss the 80's-

One of the greatest endings to a movie ever ! Perfection...Newman elevates Cruise, amazing acting and writing.

This was such a great movie, after seeing it in the theatre it made me get back into pool again.... Still love watching it every now and again.

He deserved that Oscar

Great movie--no question. But "The Hustler" is a work of art--a masterpiece!! (And it has Jackie Gleason--he's only on screen for about 20 minutes but his portrayal of "Minnesota Fats" exudes a style that nobody in the sequel can come close to.)

The ending always sends chills down my spine…wow!

It wasnt until watching the Hustler that I realized this movie isnt about Vincent (Tom Cruise).... Its about Fast Eddie Felson.

Love the sound of film. The dialogue sounds so good

This movie is a beast... Paul Newman saying hey I'm back beast

A sequel we deserve but will never see. Paul Newman is the best. My wife’s aunt stood up in his wedding to Nell. They were great friends. I met my wife after he died. But this is great.

Scorsese did not want to do this film. The Last Temptation of Christ was tops on his want to do list. He was having trouble with studio backing because of the heat they knew they were going to get from Last Temptation because of it's content. They promised Scorsese the backing for it if he would do this. They liked the story for Color, it was relatively low budget and short film schedule, and they figured a Scorsese-Newman-Cruise trifecta could not miss. They figured right.

My father and I bought a pool 🎱 table right after we saw this movie and I've loved the game and this movie ever since!

Perfect ending to a crazy fabulous film!

Many layers behind this movie. Newman just knowing he's back in form was enough for himself - and listening to the sound of his own break (like when he first heard Cruise's break) - to close out the movie.

one of my favorit movies... seen it maybe 50 times.. i even play just like cruise does in the howling wolf scene(only i have music on my ears to shut ut the room(ipad or phone)

In case anyone is wondering later on in this game Fast Eddie looks at Vincent after he's been beating him and says, "Is it over yet Vincent?" "Because I've been beating you all night, and I'm going to beat your all day." "I'm the best there is Vincent, the best you've ever seen." "Now, even if you beat me, I'm still the best!"

I love this movie so much. It was one of Paul Newman's best. He was trying to teach the snot nosed kid who saved Hollywood a thing or two. Classic.

Paul Newman was incredible

Cruise's hair is way over the top in this movie

1 of the best endings ever in movies

Going through my own version of “I’m back” now. Paul Newman nails it. Being an expert at something you’ve spent your whole life perfecting and getting a chance at the end is the BEST🤘😎🇺🇸🇺🇸(Gen Xer)

Paul F..... Newman! My favorite actor of all time😎

This is one of Tom's better movies I remember seeing this in the theaters and when pool comes back he needs to make a sequel to this😎

Underrated classic

The Final shot its amazing. Classic Marty

Paul, legend !!!!!

Where are the good actors, the good movies these days. Man, this was such a great story and a great film !

“Fast and loose” ~ The Hustler

The Hustler, Color of money. 2 loistavaa elokuvaa, tämä saaga tarvitsee kolmannen osan. Trilogy.

well well well way beyond brilliant ... humble opinion - Paul's & Tom's best movie, perhaps Martin's as well ... Hell it was much too real & too good !!!

Tom Cruise is the same age, 61, as Paul Newman was when this movie was released... It's time for part 3!

It’s a tale of losing what you thought you would never lose and realising too late that’s it gone all the while trying desperately and naively to hold onto it

Scorsese is a dancer.

This really is a great movie. When it first came out every pool hall had to put up signs warning players not to do the The Color of Money shot. Didn't stop me tho!

Goosebumps

Never -- not once -- have I ever heard/read anyone say/write: "You [the audience] got hustled. And it was so expertly done, you still don't realize it." Not even almost 40 years later. The end was anticlimactic because IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. The actual climax happened when Vincent realized his greatness as a hustler. So great, in fact, not even Fast Eddie Felson got a read on it.

We considered it a disappointing ending in 1986. But it was the right choice.

Pool hall movies are a rare treat. Has anyone here seen Pool Hall Junkies with Cristopher Walken ?

the reason i picked up a cue. and more then 35 years later i still do almost every day. for me the best hobby i can think of. if you loose it just hurts you pride (or a few bucks) and i will play as long i can hold a stick

LOVED this ending!!!

Great movie good sound track

The plot hole I see is that Vincent did not owe any % of the winnings from the game he dumped. Eddie ended all split deals at their last meeting. Maybe Vincent also knew this and was showing his ass to Eddie by giving him money he didn't owe him and gloating about losing so convincingly, but it really came across that he thought he owed it...and that kind of subtlety isn't Vincent's style. I think Vincent grew up and he didn't like the hustle as much as liked the straight game. and now Eddie only likes the straight game... so they switched roles. Eddie is using the exact line "lets just play to play. I want your best game." on Vincent that Vincent used on Julian when he first sees him at the point all Eddie knows is the hustle and all Vincent knows is the straight game. deep shit going on here.

Great movie

They should make another sequel to this movie with Vincent (Tom Cruise) in the role of the Partner-Manager of a young talented pool hustler similar to what Eddie Felson was to Vincent.

Amazing

Newman looks like Dan Ackroyd playing the sleazy businessman on SNL.

It’s in the way that you use it it comes and it goes

Reevaluating this movie now and everyone's attention at the time was on Mastrantonio and Newman, but Tom Cruise was very much holding his own with them. The attacks on his acting back then were just completely unfair.

whats interesting id the hey i'm back line sounds more like the confident young Eddie from the Hustler not the beaten Eddie from the Color Of Money when he says it you really believe he is back

カッコいい復活

Great movie 🎥

They dont make movies like this anymore :) 👍😎👍

Bravo!

i like to know what brand of cue eddie was shooting with at the end,i heard a signature sound when he hits the cueball

Tom Cruise with that hair looks like a guard at Buckingham Palace.

I like feel good movies

Newman at 60 something looked better than Cruise at 20 something. I mean, no shame there. He was too cool.

Fast Eddie in his prime mops Vince up.

You can Lose Still Walk Tall Because Give it your Best Game of Your Life

The room they were in was empty. What if the buildings caretaker said 'this room is closed after 5 minutes?'. Would they get it on again or just wait for the next competition?

Not sure who would win. Eddie was playing well. Winning matches in tournaments. He seemed confident & wanted to play Vincent. Had experience on his side. Vincent seemed confident. Maybe over confident. He ducked playing Eddie properly in the tournament. Choosing to go for easy money. Result - a close match & buddies again afterwards. Although not working together again.

Would have been funny if he totally missed the ball and threw his back out. 😂

Great hair

1986 was almost 40 yrs ago

They should have revealed that Eddie was hustling Vincent since they started. The last game should have had Eddie run 7 racks straight while explaining the long con he pulled on Vincent

It’s in the way that you use it.

Beat a guy back in the 90s who wore the Eddie glasses. I hustled him for 3 days straight! I beat him getting the 7 two races to 10, beat him 3 sets getting the 8 in the same races. Next day played him in a race to 25 dead even with a doubled bet. Then gave him the 8 on the third day for 5k all of which I had won in a 10 a head set! Guy couldn’t believe he was being hustled because he thought he was the man! Sad thing is I could have gave him the 7 if he hadn’t went busto!! Damn I miss the days of hustling pool before the internet and camera phones ruin the art form. Now you can go 3000 miles away and some guy will take a picture and post it on social media and 2 minutes later ask for weight in a $20 set!!

Tom as Eddie type character , Miles Teller as Vincent type character

Suspect it would be a long game. Best of 50? Eddie had got himself back into good physical shape & was playing well. He wanted to win or lose to a Vincent playing at 100%.

Hard to believe that’s Tony Montana’s sister.

Can someone explain how Eddie used Vincent? Because he took 60%?

Sequel please Tom with Efran Reyes or SVB consulting

I was there that night and Vince took Eddie for the envelope and beat him the next set for his Cadillac but he drove them to the train station afterwards where eddies girl left with Vincent

Cruise replacing Newman Fast Eddie replacing Minnesota Fats Thats life

The first band l ever saw was this band and another couple Ike and Tina Turner

'You couldn't deal with my game'. Be a bit embarressing if he lost.

I was hoping soooo much that Eddie would wipe the floor with Vincent. But it should've been straight pool, not 9-ball

win 🏆 😎 money 💵

I still don't understand this movie. Can someone explain it to me? How did Eddie use Vince? What was the con? Did Eddie lose to Forrest Whitaker on purpose?

I'm tired of reading all of your comments here, and that goes for EVERYBODY! The cast.. blah blah the acting.. blah blah Screen legend passes torch.. blah fkinblah!! The most important thing in this movie is learning that if you sell enough bootleg liquor, you get to drive that beautiful Cadillac.

Of all the shitty remakes of movies that fail hard, why not make another sequel to this movie. You can come up with 100 different story lines and would make a great movie. But lets remake another Snow White movie that people are going to hate.
