Off The Sidelines: Cheerleader Movies To Pump You Up

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping cheerleader movies into the ol’ VCR.

Ready? Okay!

Sorry, I had to.

I recently went to the Drafthouse (shocker), and the trailer for Satan’s Cheerleaders was included in a pre-show.

That’s when it hit me.

We did a piece about movies we’d love to see get the Bring It On: Cheer or Die treatment, but we’ve never done a piece about cheerleader movies.

Now, what do I mean by cheerleader movies?

These are movies where cheerleading is the focal point and/or plays a pivotal role in the storyline.

Sure, Bottoms and Can’t Buy Me Love both have cheerleaders, but they aren’t a focal point.

To play devil’s advocate, you could also argue that Death of a Cheerleader and Satan’s Cheerleaders don’t count.

My counterargument is that they both have the word “cheerleader” in the title…so…yeah.

Moving on.

For one final disclaimer, some of these movies are from the early to mid-aughts. There are going to be things that don’t hold up.

I think that should do it.

Without further ado, grab your pom poms and enjoy these cheerleader movies:

Death of a Cheerleader aka A Friend to Die For (1994)
