Cool Runnings (1993)

I was surprised TV9 was showing this movie last night....so in between Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives this is a betetr option..... its a wonderful movie based on the true story of the 1st ever Jamaican bobsleigh team and how they qualified for the Olympics!!! I have always loved this film, it's very funny in places, and very touching and moving in other places, the characters are all fantastic and the late John Candy is superb as Irv Blitzer, the Jamaicans coach!!

It tells the story beautifully of how the Jamaicans not only qualified for a sport which they never had any dealings with or knoew shit about, but they also competed well against the worlds best and made a lot of friends along doing so!!

This is a great film where you can see how friends are filled with pride when they reach the finish line, also when they don't win. This movie showed what the spirit of the Olympics is really all about.
