The reason you have pairs triples, etc. is the number of pro teams associated with that mascot. So, Giants will form a trio with a New York match (When Harry Met Sally) and a San Francisco match.

Re: Game #219 – Film Crew
The Hallelujah Trail was a comedy that made a comic point that nobody actually got injured despite all the shooting that went on.
I think this is THE WILD BUNCH, because the opening sequence features a temperance march that gets caught in the crossfire between the gang and the bounty hunters across the street. That would also provide a match for the Minnesota Wild.

Re: Game #219 – Film Crew
I'm not sure how loose Frank is with his matches so 1776 could match with the 76ers.
Unlike the earlier films in the franchise, Jaws 3D is set at Sea World in Orlando, so that's the match.
Sunset Boulevard is Los Angeles
Oceans 11 is Las Vegas.
Melvin and Howard is also Las Vegas, so they could go with Raiders (of the Lost Arc), Ace (in the Hole) or a Knights movie, although that team is technically the Vegas Golden Knights.

Game #219 – Film Crew
Identify the 90 movies below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match the movies into 11 pairs, 12 triples, 4 groups of four, 2 groups of five, and 1 group of six, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. No movie will be used twice and no movie will be matched with itself. Alternate matches are possible, but only on solution will allow you to use each film once.
6. “We all know most marriages depend on a firm grasp of football trivia.” DINER (Baltimore)
18. “Don't you ever talk that way to me! 'Pig,' 'Pollack,' 'disgusting,' 'vulgar,' 'greasy!' Those kind of words have been on your tongue and your sister's tongue just too much around here! What do you think you are? A pair of queens? Now just remember what Huey Long said - that every man's a king - and I'm the King around here, and don't you forget it!”
STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (New Orleans)
19. This film marks the intersection of the careers of the composer who wrote ‘Eine Kleine Nachtmusik’ and the director whose work inspired A Little Night Music. Got that?

NATIONAL VELVET?
54. “Don't ever try to judge me dude!/You don't know what the f**k I've been through!/But I know something about you/You went to Cranbrook - that's a private school/What's the matter, dog? You're embarrassed?/This guy's a gangster? His real name is Clarence!/Now Clarence lives at home with both parents/And Clarence parents have a real good marriage.”
8 MILE (Detroit)
82. “My question is, how did she come to have sex with a dead man?”
“”She thought it was me.”
CLERKS (New Jersey)
88. “Unguent. I need unguent.”
FARGO (Minnesota)
