There are a ton of great ones out there, and my bf and I have been catching up on a few throughout the games. We watched D3: The Mighty Ducks, Miracle, and the original Cutting Edge. Anyone else been enjoying this!? There is a new cutting edge installment called: Fire & Ice on March 14th (an ABC Fam original), so we'll likely watch that too while our Olympic fever is strong!

We just (re)watched Cool Runnings the other day with our girls. Just remember that while it was BASED on the Jamaican bobsled team, it is not even 50% accurate and they are not pretending to be. But, having said that, great movie.

That is great! I've found a lot of them aren't really technically accurate, but still really get you excited for the sports. The first Cutting Edge had this ridiculously dangerous move they used to win the cold which would never be allowed in competition. But it makes for a very intense ending! I'm hoping this new one will be accurate, since there is a speedskating element to it, and I know very little about the sport. It'd be neat to learn a thing or two!

Shamelessly looking forward to the new Cutting Edge movie. I think they're going to do a marathon of 1-3 before they premier #4 as well. One thing you can count on (and is a big pet peeve on the figure skating board I lurk at) is that they will have theatrical lighting in the arena during a "competition."

Haha, they ARE doing a marathon!! I believe it starts at 2pm with the original as you said. I have been in love with D.B. Sweeney since the day I saw the first one, so I'm happy to relive my youth via a Sunday marathon. And fully expecting theatrical lighting I've never seen a live skating performance outside of the Olympics, so you actually just broke the news to me it wasn't real, haha.

"Toepick" is definitely the one I remember most! But my other favorite is "There's only two things I do really well, sweetheart, and skating's the other one!" Scandal! I am sure the new version won't be quite so forward being on ABC Family and all, but if Brendan Fehr does decide to be as big as stud as Doug was, I'm all for it!

We are finally marathoning our Cutting Edge movies I recorded from the 14th. Have watched the first 3, and are preparing to watch #4 when our lunch is ready. Biggest surprise was to see Lost's John Lock as Kate's dad in the first movie. He had hair and a mustache, and was 18 years younger than we see him now. I barely recognized him, but caught on to his mannerism and voice. They did "Toepick" but apparently cut out "put my hand where?" We went in to #2 right after #1, and we decided to explain away the totally different actors for Kate and Doug by "noticing" that they'd aged so dramatically that they looked like totally different people! On to #4!
