  • 631: "She said hand-some, not hand-less" | Kingpin (1996)
    Feb 18 2026

    After losing his bowling hand (and his dignity) to a vengeful scheme, washed-up pro Roy Munson survives on cheap booze and a comb-over that deserves its own zip code. His luck turns when he discovers Ishmael, an Amish bowling prodigy with a killer hook and zero world experience.

    The duo embarks on a road trip to Reno, dodging angry landlords and "milking" accidental bulls to reach a million-dollar showdown. To win, Roy must out-hustle his sleazy arch-nemesis, Ernie "Big Ern" McCracken.

  • 630: "Just tap it in" | Happy Gilmore (1996)
    Feb 12 2026

    When a failed hockey player with a lethal slap shot and a short-fused temper discovers his grandmother is about to lose her home, he decides to trade the ice for the links. Happy Gilmore isn't your average golfer—he’s a beer-slugging, foul-mouthed underdog in a sport of country club snobs.

    Feb 5 2026

    After inheriting a mysterious treasure map, young Jim Hawkins sets sail for the high seas with a crew of felt-covered misfits and a clueless captain. But the horizon turns dark when the ship’s charismatic cook, Long John Silver (Tim Curry), reveals he’s more interested in gold than gourmet meals. From psychedelic 'Cabin Fever' hallucinations to a tropical showdown with a pig-worshipping tribe, it’s a swashbuckling scramble where Jim must find his courage before the pirates make him walk the plank into a sea of chaos.
