Right Up My Alley: Some Of My Favorite “Bowling” Movies

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping some of my favorite “bowling” movies into the ol’ VCR.

I’m terrible at bowling. 

Seriously. 

I need bumpers, and I have to resort to granny shots. 

The one time I bowled a strike didn’t count because, uh, my ball hopped over the gutter and into the lane next to mine. 

Hell, I even once accidentally threw my ball backward and almost broke my friend’s foot. 

I love the atmosphere of a bowling alley, but I prefer to spectate (and eat food from the concession stand that will inevitably destroy my stomach). 

That’s why I’ve gathered some of my favorite “bowling” movies instead. 

But, if you haven’t guessed from the quotation marks, I have a bit of a disclaimer. 

Here goes… 

I didn’t have enough bowling-centric movies for this piece, BUT I thought of several movies with pivotal bowling alley scenes, so we’re gonna count them. 

Again, if you’re looking for a movie that’s about the sport of bowling, I would stick to Alley Cats Strike. 

Outside of that movie, bowling isn’t the focal point of most of these. 

I know that there are also some bowling documentaries out there, but, unfortunately, I haven’t seen them, so I don’t want to give them my blessing without watching them first. 

Finally, some of these movies are older, so some things in them don’t hold up. Keep that in mind before watching. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are seven of my favorite “bowling” movies:
