• Like Waiting for Guffman, Christopher Guest's 1996 mockumentary masterpiece, Blackballed follows a group of small-town losers hilariously unaware of their lower-rung status. Their leader is Bobby Dukes (Corddry), the fallen hero of the paintball world. After telling the tale of his disgrace via He-Man action figures - turns out Dukes committed the sport's ultimate sin, "wiping" after he'd been shot - the film picks up after his decade-long ban has expired. Dukes returns to the world of his former triumphs and finds that no one wants to be associated with a cheater. One of his former teammates tells him, "I'd take a bullet for you. Just not … a painted bullet." So he's forced to join up with the referee who got him banned in the first place (Best Week Ever's Paul Scheer) and cobble together a new team.

• Dodgeball wasn't exactly a smash when it was released in 2004, but it's done much better on cable and DVD, where viewers get a better chance to appreciate its quotable appeal. Blackballed should fit right into that same fringe-sport niche, since everyone involved completely buys into the fake mystique they've created for paintball and for Dukes. Example: During Dukes's first practice game after coming back, one of his opponents refers to being shot by the former legend as a "religious experience." That's just about when I was sold on Blackballed. Though, honestly, if someone made a Hacky Sack movie and everyone got through it with a straight face, I'd probably love that too.
