The Replacements
Directed by Howard Deutch
Maverick old-guard coach Jimmy McGinty is hired in the wake of a players' strike to help the Washington Sentinels advance to the playoffs. But that impossible dream hinges on whether his replacements can hunker down and do the job. So, McGinty dusts off his secret dossier of ex-players who never got a chance (or screwed up the one they were given) and knits together a bad-dream team of guys who just may give the… From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →so I’m in a hotel room with awful tv options and I have THE REPLACEMENTS (2000) on in the background. I forgot this movie is about rooting for a team of affable scabs. The Clinton years were crazy y’all.
negative · AI labelView post →RIP Gene Hackman, who made one of my favorite movies even better (Royal Tenenbaums) and who I will remember maybe equally for The Replacements, a bad movie which he makes respectable. I love it. 🫡
neutral · AI labelView post →Gene Hackman was so great he turned The Replacements, a movie that glorifies scab labor, into one of the best sports movies of the 21st Century
positive · AI labelView post →i never saw The Replacements…I replaced it with seeing another movie that night
neutral · AI labelView post →You gotta have heart. Miles and miles of heart. For whatever reason, his role as the coach in The Replacements is always what I associate with Gene Hackman. The anchor of that movie. RIP to a legend. Jimmy McGinty is anything but a conventional guy. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...
positive · AI labelView post →The only good conservative movie is THE REPLACEMENTS (2000).
positive · AI labelView post →The Replacements is a great football movie, one of my favorites. But it’s also profoundly anti-labor and glorifies scabs in service of billionaires.
neutral · AI labelView post →40 years ago today, the Replacements took the stage in Ann Arbor, Mich. as a 3-piece--Bob Stinson was AWOL (at a movie, it turned out). As @bobmehr.bsky.social relates in his book "Trouble Boys," it ws the one time someone said: "Get out there, we can't wait any longer" @mplsmusichistory.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie producer extraordinaire Basil Iwanyk told me that when making “The Replacements” he got a football signed by Madden, Summerall, Keanu and Hackman. One of a kind. A few weeks ago he saw his 13-year old son throwing a football in the front yard and wondered “Huh, wonder where he got that ball …”
neutral · AI labelView post →My husband always wants to watch boy movies about war and football and nerd stuff and it annoys me but I respect our rigid turn-taking system. He picked The Replacements this weekend and you know what annoys me even more? It's a really fun movie and I'm looking forward to finishing it tonight 🙄🙄🙄
positive · AI labelView post →Everyone is sharing Gene Hackman masterclass films (of which there are many) but I'll always have a soft spot for his turn in The Replacements. Which is a much better sports movie than it has any right to be. youtu.be/i3O-kYwM8qY?...
positive · AI labelView post →There's going to be a lot of mention of absolute classic Gene Hackman movies, and rightfully so. But please keep a place in your heart for The Replacements as well. It's a silly little sports film, but it can mean a hell of a lot to someone (someone is me).
positive · AI labelView post →Share a movie or TV character dressed as a Cheerleader. My choice: Brooke Langton as Annabelle in The Replacements 🖤
neutral · AI labelView post →The Replacements: our finest film about scabbing
negative · AI labelView post →Oh man I'd forgotten that a very young Jon Favreau was in The Replacements. This was my favorite movie of his until Chef. (Which, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend.)
positive · AI labelView post →apparently the only Keanu Reeves movie my sister can name is The Replacements

Lewis's character "moved to Minneapolis at the height of the Replacements craze hoping to catch a glimpse of Paul Westerberg" Set/partly filmed in Minneapolis (Hennepin Ave Bridge, MOA, Sculpture Garden)

positive · AI labelView post →Pick a movie, keep one actor. The rest are Muppets. The Replacements Keanu Reeves
neutral · AI labelView post →... on the Replacements' "Tim" album and his experience producing it (for the 2011 documentary film "Color Me Obsessed") that is posted on YouTube. It's a rare opportunity to hear a producer and fellow musician talk at length (a full hour!) about a single 1980s album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=baB1...
neutral · AI labelView post →Last weekend I ended up watching The Replacements for the first time. A movie about union busting and scabbing wrapped up in a feel good plot about underdogs who supposedly have more heart than the spoiled millionaire unionized players.
negative · AI labelView post →Seasonal reminder that Paul Westerberg's best song is not with The Replacements but is from the 2006 children's animated film Open Season: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvtO...

neutral · AI labelView post →What movie was Bob Stinson watching at the State Theater in Ann Arbor, Mich., 40 years ago tonight, when he was supposed to be on stage at the Michigan Theater with the rest of the Replacements, for a show that was set to start at 8pm (there was an opening band)?

positive · AI labelView post →I've watched this interview with Tommy (Ramone) Erdelyi about his work producing the "Tim" album by the Replacements several times over the years. Today I typed up a few notes.
neutral · AI labelView post →watching The Replacements which I think is a really fun and underrated movie (and also very much a relic of its era) but it is wild to see a movie where the billionaire owners and the scabs that cross the picket line are the good guys

neutral · AI labelView post →I hate that the Replacements (a movie about scum sucking scabs) is such a good flick.
neutral · AI labelView post →I don't know why I love this movie so much, but it is one of my favorites to re-watch. The Replacements was released on this date in 2000. With a huge cast, were there any best of career performances in this one? Full cast list in comments #iwillsurvive #sassawards #moviesky #actorsky #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →I avoided the #Oscars tonight. My friends and I watched a Gene Hackman film instead. We had options: The Firm Unforgiven Runaway Jury Mississippi Burning Superman French Connection The Replacements Bat 21 Unforgiven We went with "The Quick and the Dead" because it's just awesome. 🥰 RIP, Gene. 🕯️
neutral · AI labelView post →My favorite was less serious The Replacements He was so good in that movie & you could tell Keanu really respected him & the relationship we saw onscreen was probably pretty close to their real life friendship
neutral · AI labelView post →Gene Hackman was in a ton of great movies, but my favorites gotta be the Replacements….which was by no means his best movie haha
positive · AI labelView post →This looks like an early scene from The Replacements movie where everyone is just out doing their own shit and no one is doing it particularly well.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Replacements: Yes its a sports movie but it has heart and its limited focus always endeared me to it. Plus hackman, john madden, glora gaynor and keanu of course. It's a frozen pepperoni pizza that hits the comfort zone.
positive · AI labelView post →Finn Wolfhard should play this in the Replacements movie he's writing (with his dad)
