The 9 Awesomest Movies Heavily Involving Winter Sports

You could probably make this list just about hockey movies or skiing movies or figure skating movies (which would only work if they had made a feature film about the Harding/Kerrigan scandal) but in order to include all the greatest of the greats...and Cool Runnings, the category had to broaden to winter sports movies. We all know that cold weather is character building (or drives you to drink) and that we can derive inspiration and important life lessons from tales of winter sports. On that note, Blades of Glory was just too much, Miracle was a bit overplayed for me and Mystery, Alaska gave me way more Alaskan hockey moms and Russell Crow than I cared to see. See some of the best scenes from the top 9 movies about winter sports and use Searchles TV if you want to mashup online videos on your own.



1. Cool Runnings (1993). A touching, rather entertaining yet loose interpretation of the debut of the Jamaica national bobsled team at the 1998 Winter Olympics. It was also the first and last time we'd ever see the John Candy and Doug E. Doug paired up in comical fusion. We learned more about bobsledding than we ever cared to (they steer?) and we all cried when we see Junior's father in the crowd at the end...

2. Slap Shot (1977). Because we all let a little stress out watching the Hanson brothers in action (no not that lovable trio from Tulsa) and Paul Newman is generally badass...salad dressing and all. Slap Shot is also relevant in these trying times as the Charlestown Chiefs were in financial trouble due to mill closings in the town...helloooo recession.

3. Aspen Extreme (1993). Apparently touted as "Top Gun on the ski slopes" (just as North Shore is "Aspen Extreme neon skisuits), this classic followed two friends from "out of town" who break into the glamorous world of Aspen Ski Instructors. As a big ski competition approaches, the stakes are about as high as the female lead's bangs.

4. The Mighty Ducks Trilogy (1992). We follow a team of misfits as they transform from a bumbling disaster into a finely-tuned indefendable (word?) Flying V. This clip here from D2 is probably my favorite...quacking, over-the-top cheese, an emotional Emilio Estevez.

5. The Cutting Edge (1992). A hockey player turned figure skater pairs with a bit of a skating diva to fulfill olympic dreams. Despite the fact that their gold medal-winning move, The Pamchenko, is physically impossible, how can you not love a 90s movie with a tagline like "the ultimate love/skate relationship"?

6. Dumb and Dumber (1994). While slightly more character-focused than skiing-focused, the resort town of Aspen and its illustrious residents play a fairly prominent role in this ahhh...best movie ever. In this scene, Harry and Mary make a snowman.

7. Better Off Dead (1985). Even though Lane Meyer (dreamboat John Cusack) is actually fleeing a paperboy (who is neither scary nor asking for too much) while he races his blond blueblood nemesis - there is really much more to it in the name of teen angst. Wikipedia states "As Lane races down the mountain on one ski, he overcomes a life gone downhill to find happiness." Wow.

8. Youngblood (1986). Rob Lowe, Swayze AND Keanu...be still my beating heart. More hockey violence and 80s pretty boys vs. thug action. This wikipedia article uses the phrase "rag tag team of roughnecks".

9. Out Cold (2001). This is what I used to know of Alaska pre-Palin. A group of snowboarders try to win the girl(s) and save their mountain from a corporate takeover. I at first thought this movie was terrible and it quickly grew on me on one of those days when I didn't get off the couch. That Zach Galifianakis...

MTV Throwback: Top 10 Music Videos with Well-Known Actors

Most of these are recollections of a glorious time when MTV & VH1 played music videos. Now I watch music videos on YouTube and mash'em up using Searchles TV. I save my MTV viewing for gems like Real World/Road Rules Challenges and Parental Control...life is sad.



1. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers ~ Mary Jane's Last Dance feat. Kim Bassinger. Back when Kim Bassinger was a Batman hottie and before the well-publicized marital troubles/custody-battles with Alec Baldwin, Kim Bassinger did a quite convincing dead-chick impression. Off-putting? Perhaps...but a great song and solid video.

2. Michael Jackson ~ Remember The Time feat. Eddie Murphy & Iman. In typical MJ epic video style, Eddie Murphy & Iman made appearances as the Pharoah and his Queen. In relation to the storyline - who would you rather sleep with - Eddie Murphy 1983 or Michael Jackson 1985? I think by the time this video was made the answer was neither.

3. Bobby McFerrin ~ Don't Worry Be Happy feat. Robin Williams. Word on the street is Bobby McFerrin hates this song for it's all he's really remembered by and he's done SO much more (what else he's done, I can't think of...so apparently very few people cared). Robin Williams and a few other comedians starred in the video.

4. Fatboy Slim ~ Weapon Of Choice feat. Christopher Walken. 100% Walken. Pure excellence. Did you know he was initially trained as a dancer in musical theater before moving on to dramatic roles in theater and then film? Wikipedia did.

5. Paul Simon ~ Call Me Al feat. Chevy Chase. I pretty much thought Chevy Chase actually sang this song until 5 years or so ago. If two men are lipsynching a song in a video, you tend to assume the taller man is actually singing.

6. Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band ~ Night Moves feat. Daphne Zuniga & Matt LeBlanc. If you've ever wanted to see Joe Tribiani and Princess Vespa go at it. I guess this was a bit along the lines of "Before They Were Stars." This is probably the quintessential tune about casual teenage sex though. Nice, Bob.

7. Madonna ~ Music feat. Ali G. I hate this song. What can you do.

8. Counting Crows ~ A Long December feat. Courteney Cox. Courtney Cox also made an appearance as a random fan pulled on stage in a Bruce Springsteen video but she was actually well-known for friends and dating Adam Duritz, lead singer of Counting Crows, when this video came out. Adam Duritz would go on to date Jennifer Aniston as well. Two points, Duritz.

9. Tom Petty ~ Into the Great Wide Open feat. Johnny Depp. Johnny Depp playing the role of the all-American boy -- back when he liked America. God he's studly in this.

10. Train ~ Meet Virginia feat. Rebecca Gayheart. Yeah...remember train? Drops of Jupiter? Meet Virginia? Late-90s classics. Rebecca Gayheart plays the diner waitress with a heart of gold. Well I'm going to assume she has a heart of gold...tough to say.

Best Covers of Talking Heads' This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)

Preettty self-explanatory...amazing song that first appeared on the Speaking In Tongues (1983) album and was also featured in the live concert film Stop Making Sense (1984). String Cheese Incident covers it fairly regularly as does Arcade Fire. MGMT performed a cover at Wellesley College back in the day when they were just starting to perform as a band - all captured on good ooooold youtube. Probably my favorite is a pretty acoustic version done by a youtuber named Amy. Do enjoy and mash up your own video playlist using Searchles TV when you see fit.

Put A Ring On It: 8 Best "Single Ladies" Parodies & Fan Vids

Every time a catchy song with a hip hip dance in the music video comes along (read: the "Thriller Effect") you'll have all the folks out there trying to recreate it: the young, the old, the famous, men, women, men dressed as women... Now with YouTube we get to watch all the fun that was formerly relegated to basements and dancehalls worldwide. Here are the best recreations/parodies/little-kid-singing versions of Beyonce's latest hit, Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) with the original video first for comparison purposes. I mashed'em up into a channel using Searchles TV Remash, give it a go.



1. Beyonce's Official Video, 2. Put A Ring On It Alaska, 3. Beyonce's SNL Parody feat. Justin Timberlake, 4. Little Girl in Carseat, 5. All the Pregnant Ladies, 6. Cubby Dances, 7. The Big Girl Remix, 8. Single Man Dances to Single Ladies, 9. Single Ladies Parody
