Cheerleaders are exciting to watch. Most cheerleader movies aren’t, though.
And although Hollywood has continued to glorify
these often ditzy chicks, it’s not as often that any of us really care
about the “plight” of the hot cheerleader. However, some have actually
entertained us well.
Let’s count down the top ten best cheerleader movies of the past few
decades. And don’t accuse me of being unfair if most of these movies
have very little dialogue
.
10. Cheerleader Camp
For those who like slasher films, Cheerleader Camp is a creepy movie
about a cheerleader who dreams about ridiculous murders until they start
happening in real life at camp. Sound played out? Not in 1988. In fact,
this was probably one of the first of these movies, which is why it’s
still one of the more memorable cheerleader flicks.
9. Bring It On Again
You will see these titles quite a bit in this list. The sequel to the
hit Bring it On, Bring it On Again does just what its title hints at.
The girls take on a new challenge, this time in college instead of high
school, where they must compete for a national cheer championship.
Lacking the star cast from its original, Bring it On Again was less
successful than its prequel, yet still worth a mention on this list.
8. Can’t Buy Me Love
Love don’t cost a thing. But popularity does. Ask Ke$ha’s promoter.
The story of an uncool nerd who bribes a hot cheerleader into pretending
to be his girlfriend in a vain attempt to become popular may be the
oldest movie on this list, but is nonetheless a fun film about teen
issues and self esteem. This 1987 movie starring Patrick Dempsey and
Amanda Peterson was remade in 2003 as Love Don’t Cost a Thing, starring
Nick Cannon and Christina Milian.
7. Bring It On 4: In It To Win It
I’m going to have to “bring it on” yet again. This series of
cheerleader movies stood out so well in its category it would be unfair
to leave any one of them out. Perhaps the only difference between In it
to Win it and its prequels is that the rivals aren’t black. Nonetheless
for a cheerleader movie, it’s another hit.
6. Fired Up!
Guys cheerleading? Got any mops? Even so, there is no doubt that
Fired Up! is one of the most interesting cheerleader movies to date.
This popular 2009 movie about two football players who become
cheerleaders to hit on girls will make viewers laugh and fathers cry.
5. Bring It On 5: Fight to the Finish
Christina Milian has been on quite a few cheerleader movies, hasn’t
she? The last sequel to the Bring it On series, Fight to the Finish
changes up the story a little bit. This time a ‘hood girl moves to the
suburbs and battles against preppy chicks on her way to an All Star
Championship title.
4. Sugar and Spice
Sugar & Spice’s plot has more spice than sugar. After a high
school cheerleader gets pregnant, her cheer friends plot to rob a bank
to support her and the baby. Thus, this madcap comedy escalates when a
rival cheerleader finds out about the scheme and tries to stop them.
3. Bring It on 3: All or Nothing
Like its prequels, Bring it On: All or Nothing involves suburban
cheerleaders, surprise boyfriends and sassy African-American rivals on a
dream chase to a national championship. Only this time, these ladies
can krump. Starring Hayden Panettiere, Solange Knowles and even Rihanna,
this sequel was yet another hit on the series, being one of the most
successful
straight-to-DVD features ever.
2. Man of the House
Yes! Cheerleaders who are legal adults! Man of the House is a
fish-out-of-water story of a group of gorgeous Texas Longhorns
cheerleaders who, after witnessing a murder, are sent to live with an
old stoic police officer (Tommy Lee Jones) for protection. The girls not
only manage to warm the cop’s heart, but they also managed to warm some
seats in movie theaters with all the miniskirts flashing on the screen.
1. Bring It On
The Titanic of all cheerleader movies, Bring it On takes us full
blast into the life of a cheerleader, following a suburban cheer team,
the Toros who find out that all their moves were stolen from a shady
East Compton team, the Clovers. The girls feud and romance brews as the
teams fight for the regional and national cheer championships. Starring
Kirsten Dunst, Eliza Dushku and Gabrielle Union, Bring it On is
certainly the cheerleader movie of all cheerleader movies.
