I give a lot of credit to the movie, "The King of Kong". Although not a pinball movie, I believe it sparked a lot of interest in the old games we played as kids. I remember seeing it the first time and immediately afterwards thinking how cool it would be to have my own "arcade" at home. I started searching games on eBay/Craig's List and that's when I stumbled on pinball too. I thought it would be cool to own a couple arcades and a pinball machine at home. I hadn't thought about arcade games or pinball for many years until I saw that movie.
