Funny,  I used to play poker all the time about every weekend and few week nights as well.  Love that game.  I like Rounders too but to me "The Cincinnati Kid" is a lot better.  
Another movie about poker is "Give the Little a Big Hand" starring Henry Fonda and Joanne Woodward.  That was a really good card movie too.

A Big Hand For The Little Lady and yes a classic.

The Villain, Red Sonja, Hercules in New York! 

Haven't seen The Villain.  Isn't Red Sonja post-1984? And, you know, terrible?

OK then how about the 3rd most obvious answer. 

 

Pumping Iron 

Yep.  Stay Hungry is probably his first good movie and it always cracks me up to watch Hercules in New York with some voice actor dubbed over Arnold's lines because the producers didn't think anyone would be able to understand his thick Austrian accent.

Yes, I feel the same way about "The Cincinnati Kid" being McQueens best movie.  Even better then the "Sand Pebbles".  

I'm kind of biased as poker is my biggest hobby (yes bigger than comics!) and has at times been a second job for me.  The poker in that movie is as ludicrous as it is in Rounders (which I also love) but the performances are so incredible I don't care. McQueen, Edward G, Karl Malden, Ann Margaret, Tuesday Weld, Joan Blondell, Rip Torn, a murderers row of actors and they all kill in that movie. 

Next FREEBIE. Claim this freebie by naming a movie 1956-1984 starring Arnold Schwarzenegger:

Bragging rights to those who don't go with the two most obvious answers.

Obv correct and usually the first movie people think of when you mention McQueen.  For my money, his best movie's The Cincinnati Kid.  And who can forget The Blob?

OK next FREEBIE.  Claim this freebie by naming a movie 1956-1984 starring STEVE MCQUEEN:

Drunken Master.. 

Correct and also the best answer.  Just saw some interesting trivia, according to Wikipedia the literal translation of his Chinese name (which is obv not Jackie Chan) is "Become the Dragon".  Pretty cool.

OK next FREEBIE.  Claim this freebie by naming a movie 1956-1984 starring JACKIE CHAN:

Foxy Brown is her tour de force although for obvious reasons I prefer her starring turn in Friday Foster. “Wham Bam Here Comes Pam”. 

Can't argue and let's not forget Coffy, The Big Doll House, The Arena and that Blacula sequel.  Whoo boy, Pam effing Grier.  Goddess.
