There will be more than one historical reboot on this list, and a couple of documentary-style films as well. Some of the pieces feature famous actors, while others are filled with unknowns. Each of the following films capture that essence without being overtly cliched and over the top. Like Hollywood, the world of hockey is filled with drama, suspense, comedy and triumph. I know, it's fun to think about a monkey on skates, but maybe for a different list. What did make the list was a collection of quality movies that either incorporate hockey or hockey players as the central theme.

The Walmart budget movie hopper is calling, and you could probably find all four of those films for less than a bined.
If you are looking for any of those films on this list, please stop reading now. There was also the token feel-good story of a former hockey player who decides he wants to do some ice dancing in The Cutting Edge. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson laced up his skates for a compelling role as The Tooth Fairy. There was a chimpanzee named Jack with a wicked slapper and silky mitts in M.V.P.-Most Valuable Primate. The ultimate reality show starts with the drop of a puck, a referee's whistle or a hearty "Play Ball!" The outcome is never predetermined, and the drama, blood, sweat and tears are all very real.īefore he was Charles in Charge or even Chachi, Scott Baio was teaching us about the perils of underage drinking in The Boy Who Drank Too Much. Sure, statistics can point us to a probable outcome, but that's why they play the game. The most beautiful thing about sports is that the conclusion is anything but predictable. The term "Hollywood ending" exists because of the portrayals of a good story, but sometimes we don't always want the predictable conclusion. In the make-believe world of television and film, anything can happen, and in the 1980s, it predictably did.
