The Very Best Cheerleading Movies Of All Time

On the show today, in honour of the new season of Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders premiering on Netflix this week, we’ve rounded up the best cheerleading movies of all time.

Yes, we talk about Bring It On, from the original story behind the film, to the famous actress who was almost cast in the lead role and that one time the whole cast nearly got arrested. But there are so many other iconic cheerleading films that need to be on your watch list.

From an iconic cult classic starring Natasha Lyonne, to a film that blends cheerleading with a bank robbery and a laugh out loud movie you’d never expect to be on this list, these movies will make you want to get up and cheer (then run to your TV and watch them all).
