Bowling Alleys sighting in Movies and Shows

Breaking Away(1979). The bicycle race movie. Goofball gets his fingers stuck in a ball so he takes it with him. They get in a fight and he's swinging that thing around like a weapon!

New ad I saw recently for Chanel. Strange how bowling keeps showing up in commercials but people don't go bowling as a result. At least that is how it appears to me.

King Pin was filmed at Rochester Bowl (at least some scenes were) in Rochester, PA. I live about 15 miles from there. Bowled there once. Our marina is right around the corner from there too.

surprised no one mentioned the lanes in Napoleon Dynamite.

Pop N Pins in Preston Idaho.
Neat retro lanes.

In the movie Just My Luck, Lindsay Lohan loses all her good luck, and her cushy job, and takes a job as a janitor at a bowling alley, the Rock 'N' Bowl. It's pure hilarity.

Here's one of my favorite scenes: https://youtu.be/4PkNF8hEAY8

Here is a new one I had not heard of, but it is a 2018 movie - "When Jeff Tried to Save the World". Not a great movie but I think it has the potential to be a cult movie. Streaming on Hulu. Don't know if it is available anywhere else.

Another new one - 2017 movie "Hollow in the Land". Again not a great movie. Streaming also on Hulu but it was originally released to the general public.

I recently watched an episode of That Girl with Marlo Thomas, in which she sees a magazine at the bowling alley that told about somebody who bowled with his toes. So of course, she tries, and of course, her toe gets stuck. And of course, she has to deliver a speech in two hours to a room full of muckety-mucks. Great episode.
