"Cool Runnings" (1993 Walt Disney Pictures) Leon, Dough E. Doug, Rawle D. Lewis, Malik Yoba, John Candy. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
  • This early 90s sports comedy is based on the actual story of the first Jamaica National Bobsleigh Team, which competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Cool Runnings is John Candy's last screen appearance before his death in 1984. While not an entirely accurate account of the "Jamaican Bobsled Team's" story (some actual footage of the bobsled runs is included, both the footage and story were edited for dramatic effect), Cool Runnings is a fun and touching film. Enjoy this with the family to get yourselves psyched up for the 2022 Winter Olympics!

"Eddie the Eagle" (2015 Twentieth Century Fox) Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman, Jo Hartley, Keith Allen, Iris Berben, Tim McInnerny, Mark Benton. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
  • Loosely based on the life of Michael Edwards (Eddie the Eagle), the English Olympian who was the first British ski jumper to compete in a winter Olympics since 1928. In the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Edwards ranked 55 in the "Large Hill" ski jumping event. While Edwards didn't achieve great success in his sport, in the winter of 1988, he became a household name in Britain for his bravery and determination to compete. Eddie the Eagle is a fantastic, uplifting film to enjoy with the family.

"Miracle" (2004 Buena Vista Pictures) Kurt Russel, Patricia Clarkson, Noah Emmerich, Sean McCann, Kenneth Welsh, Michael Mantenuto, Eddie Cahill, Patrick O'Brien Dempsy, Nathan West. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
  • Based on the story of Herb Brooks, who coached the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team, Miracle is one of the best modern-era sports films. Miracle highlights the events that led to the U.S. Olympic Men's hockey team's defeat of the Soviet Men's team in the first medal round of the 1980 Winter Olympics (The U.S. would go on to beat Finland in the final game to win Gold.)
