1. The Cutting Edge (1992)

A classic enemies-to-lovers sports romance, a former hockey player is paired with a spoiled figure skating star after their individual careers collapse.

2. I, Tonya (2017)

Starring Margot Robbie,  I, Tonya tells the true story of Tonya Harding, a figure skater whose talent was often overshadowed by classism, sexism, and media sensationalism. The film explores how America treats women who don’t fit its preferred narratives and dare to be angry. (Stream on Tubi)

3. Blades of Glory (2007) 

This outrageous comedy follows two disgraced male figure skaters forced to team up as the first-ever men’s pairs duo. Stacked with an iconic cast of comedians including Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, and Will Arnett, to name a few, Blades of Glory lovingly mocks the theatrics and rivalries of competitive skating while still delivering impressively ridiculous on-ice sequences. (Stream on Paramount+, Pluto TV, and MGM+)

4. Ice Princess (2005) 

This classic Disney movie follows a geeky teen who discovers a passion for figure skating and must balance academic expectations with athletic dreams. The film holds special meaning for fans as one of the late Michelle Trachtenberg's most beloved performances, in which she portrayed the determined champion Casey Carlyle. Her legacy lives on in this film, which shaped the childhoods of so many. (Stream on Disney+)
