Hello!
The Winter Olympics have been so fun to watch so far. Over the weekend, I watched Glitter & Gold on Netflix which got me thinking about other movies and documentaries that focus on the Winter Olympics.
Ice Skating:
I loved Glitter & Gold and wish there were more episodes. Ice dancing is so amazing, and of course the different partnerships and drama are also interesting.
Chock and Bates are my fave duo, and I was able to watch some of their performances live thanks to the weekend and snow days. I inadvertently saw the results of the ice dancing, but I still watched it in Prime Time last night.
Who doesn’t love the movie The Cutting Edge? This movie was one of my all time faves in the 90’s, and I loved watching it with the kids a few years ago.
My brother will randomly say “Toe Pick!” #iykyk haha
Admittedly, I’ve not seen I, Tonya, but wow…I remember the Kerrigan/Harding rivalry in the 90’s and being fascinated with all the details of Kerrigan’s injury after being assaulted and if she’d be able to perform.
Bobsledding:
Cool Runnings was another fave from my childhood, but again, the kids loved watching it too. I wanted to re-watch it before the Olympics started but never had time. I will definitely try to watch it again soon.
Hockey:
I was born right before the big Miracle on Ice game. My mom tells the story of her hoping I’d stay asleep so they could finish watching the big game. It’s been years, but I did see the movie Miracle, and I’m pretty sure I’ve watched it with Hayden as well.
The latest documentary on Netflix, Miracle: The Boys of ’80, was another one I’d hoped to watch before the Olympic games started. I will definitely watch it soon as well.
The Mighty Ducks is an absolute classic, and it’s another fave I loved re-watching with my kids a few years ago.
Snow boarding:
I’ve not seen this Netflix documentary, but it’s about Scotty James, an Australian Olympic snowboarder.
I’m thankful my kids were interested in watching great 90’s movies with me…and I enjoy watching documentaries as well.
What did I miss? I’m sure there are other Olympic themed movies and docs that I’ve forgotten.

A lot of these are my favorites! I love Cutting Edge, Cool Runnings, Miracle, & The Mighty Ducks. There’s also Eddie the Eagle (ski jumping!).
