MOVIES AT GRANDMA'S HOUSE NEWSLETTER

Hello, Movie Lovers!

Welcome to this week's Movies at Grandmas House newsletter! Season 4 continues! In our latest podcast episode, we asked: Does Cool Runnings (1993) glide smoothly to inspirational victory, or does it crash on the ice?

This feel-good sports comedy takes us to Jamaica, where sprinter Derice Bannock's Olympic dreams are dashed when he fails to qualify for the track team, leading him to recruit disgraced former bobsled coach Irv Blitzer and form the island nation's first-ever bobsled team with a ragtag crew of misfits. We dive into this loosely based true story of underdogs defying expectations, the film's winning blend of humor and heart as four Jamaicans brave freezing temperatures and skeptical competitors, and whether this underdog tale delivers both laugh-out-loud moments and genuine inspiration as the team learns that pride, dignity, and giving your all matter more than gold medals—proving that sometimes the most unlikely dreamers make the most unforgettable champions.

Plus, we've found some amazing deals on movie posters from MoviePoster.com, Amazon, and more—check them out!

Cool Runnings (1993)

In Jamaica, talented sprinter Derice Bannock has trained his entire life to follow in his father's footsteps and compete in the Olympics. When a freak accident during the qualifying race destroys his chance to make the track team, Derice discovers that his father's old friend, American coach Irv Blitzer, once trained bobsledders.

Desperate to still reach the Olympics, Derice convinces the reluctant and disgraced Irv to help him form Jamaica's first bobsled team. He recruits his friend Sanka Coffie, a push-cart derby champion, along with two other mismatched runners from the failed qualifier—the arrogant sprinter Yul Brenner and the wealthy junior Bowman.

Despite having never seen snow, the four Jamaicans must learn to work as a team, overcome Irv's troubled past, face ridicule and skepticism from international competitors who see them as a joke, and prove they belong on the world stage at the Winter Olympics in Calgary.

Through grueling training, cultural clashes, and learning what it truly means to be a team, the unlikely crew transforms from laughingstocks into serious contenders who earn respect through their determination and heart.

Watch it at Grandma’s

“Growing up we used to rent this movie and enjoyed it each time. You’re going to have a fun time with this one, and seeing John Candy is always a treat. It still holds up well, minus the language and a few other elements."

“Although it's got some flaws, I have so so much unbelievable nostalgia for this one. I love the deeper messages and the silliness and the acting.”
