Just wondering if there are any cigar themed movies worth watching.
Something along the lines of what Sideways is to wine movies, The Red Violin is to violins and Freddie Got Fingered is to...
...actually Freddie Got Fingered blew chunks

The movie Smoke with Harvey Kietel and William Hurt is pretty decent and there is a movie called Blowing Smoke, I haven't seen this myself but I hear it isn't bad.

The movie Smoke is not really about cigars at all; it's about life. So don't watch it expecting a movie about cigar smokers.
I have heard that Blowing Smoke is a cool movie about guys who get together to smoke cigars and play cards often, and all goes great until one of them brings a smoking hot girl into the mix and then things go downhill from there.
There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
Just curious, what would be an interesting story line of a hypothetical cigar themed flick?I can't come up with one that the average Joe would find engaging. I can't come up with one that I would find engaging...

Looked it up on Amazon and yes there is a girl smoking a cigar on the cover, but on review says the girl on the cover isn't eyen in the movie. And its about smoking dope not cigars, so I guess the one on the cover is a Blunt LOL
There seams to be a fair bit of confusion about this at Amazon. Had to look it up on IMDB.
Blowing Smoke (2004) is about cigars:

It certainly doesn't look the equal of Sideways, but I do like the poster (http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0432257/iid_881097.jpg).
Blowin' Smoke, AKA Freak Talks About Sex (1999) doesn't really look like its about cigars at all.

There's always a way to make an engaging movie involving something people are passionate about. I never said it should be for the average (American) Joe. Sideways and Red Violin certainly weren't aimed at the average Joe, while I bet Freddie Got Fingered was
But if there was one for your average joe it might run like this...
Time travelling robots from the future come to earth, sink a large unsinkable ocean liner with an iceberg they broke of the Arctic using glogal warming, all the while discussing the nuances of different fillers and binders and smoking bans. Oh and Lindsay Lohan or Jessica Alba should probably make an appearance somewhere in it too, preferably scantily clad and hugging each other. Throw in some impossibly large explosions, a mini-gun, an analogy to jesus and you've got a blockbuster on your hands.

Saw part of Blowing Smoke. Not bad, but Sideways has a much better cast. I would like to see the whole thing next time I catch it on cable. Rich guys herf it up right until??? I think the hot girl is named Estella Warren. Still, I have mixed feelings about recomending it.
