Have you ever seen The Replacements ? The movie where John Wick plays a QB on a replacement team while the players are on strike

Loved The Replacements. Fun fact it’s loosely based on the 1987 NFL players strike. Former UT Vols quarterback Tony Robinson being called up to start a game for the Redskins is rumored to be the inspiration for Keanu Reeves’ (John Wick) character.

Paper Lion was on TCM a couple of days ago, and I finally (after years) got it recorded!!! Amazing coincidence that you mentioned it within two days, after I'd been trying to catch it for so long. 

WIsh I had known it was on. I have tried to find a copy of it for years.

Don’t feel bad, I came here to say Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story and The Waterboy

For serious sports flicks, Moneyball and Friday Night Lights are my favorites. 

Invincible and The Express are underrated imo. 

Gah, I completely forgot about Dodgeball. That is another good one!

For a Bowling movie, I'll throw in Kingpin.

I bet a lot of people would go Big Lebowski for a bowling movie. But I’m 100% with you on Kingpin. It’s a laugh a minute from beginning to end.

Anyone seen the new movie (Champions) with Woody Harrelson?  it’s worth a watch.

Honestly a toss up for me between the Big Lebowski and Kingpin.  I went with Kingpin as I thought more obscure. The dude abides.
