Kingpin (1996) -- Roy Goes Home After Seventeen Years 

Man, this scene gets me every time, I just came back home to bosnia after 17 years.

I swear it’s not just nostalgia but these 90’s comedies were the best, this, Tommy boy, midnight run, etc. it’s because they were funny but they also had heart. This scene when she says your dad would be proud and he just looks at her and says “no, no he wouldn’t be proud” Hits hard, because it’s true. His dad wouldn’t have been proud, he’d probably have been disgusted, and I love that they don’t sugarcoat it, it makes his redemption in the end more meaningful. Absolutely love this movie

This movie comes with a lot of laughs and a few gut punches They don't make 'em like this no more, do they?

Returning to the place where you grew up with nothing to show, but the wrinkles in one's face. Beautiful scene.

One of the things i loved about this film was the message at the end. You don't get any real revenge on terrible people like Big Ern by making their lives worse, rather you reach a victory by making your own life better.

The Farrelly brothers are experts when it comes to music use. Never seen anyone else incorporate unpopular music so great.

It actually makes me sad how his dad believed in him and he blew it. I know all about that.

The Farrelly brothers are excellent at making hilarious movies with great soundtracks intermixed with scenes that just can get to me like this one.

This scene hits different when you get older

Vanessa Angel was great in this too.

"No, he wouldn't be proud..."

Dumb a d Dumber was a hoot and There’s Something About Mary was a comedic gem, but Kingpin was absolutely sublime. It is my favorite of the trio.

gripping scene.

this movie got me into bowling back in the 90s I even had own ball

This part of the movie reminds me that although you will make bad decisions all is not lost if you at least learn from them and do better.

My absolute favorite movie! 💯

This movie was raunchy and low-brow, but it also was endearing and sentimental....in just the right balance.

It reminds me of my town so many people gone, even some buildings

@1:11 to @1:15 is just exceptionally well acted. How he responds to her telling him he looks "sharp." It's odd for this kind of movie, but for me that one little response he gives just packs a real punch.

I know I'm most likely in the minority here, but in terms of Farrelly comedies, I've always liked this movie more than Dumb and Dumber. They're both great comedies but Kingpin had the better emotional moments and LOL moments than D&D.

Thanks for posting

The payoff with the watch is one of the best jokes in movie history. 😂

How gorgeous can you possibly get? Holy shit

This is crushing

filmed in my hometown.

I’ve been failing for the last few years - gaining weight, becoming reclusive etc etc. It would never happen if my dad was here. Because he’d intervene and say something. That’s what I really miss - a role model. Someone to keep me on the right track. Because, to be honest, I find everyone one else will just allow you to keep drifting. To keep failing. Even mothers aren’t very good at telling their kids hard truths.

Was tough going home after all them years.

0:51 - Funniest belch in screen history.

Munson here... I had everything in Argentina. I came to Europe with many dreams...20 years ago... and they only stayed at that. Today I am almost 45 and I no longer have much desire for anything. It's hard to get up and try again... very hard. Pd: dont cry for me i already dead... B

Sweeter than Yoo-hoo

Ernie McCracken cracks me up like I'm on crack!

what about new beginnings?

I don't think anybody's proud anymore

What do you think about new beginnings?

It’s funny it’s like time stopped for me when I left this town His dad also never could figure out how the get the watch working In the end Claudia wound it lmfao 😂 That was always too funny to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣it really killed the emotion of this scene when he’s opening up about the meaning of the watch lmfao 🤣
