Here’s a winter sports story that will inspire you if you’re facing a problem with impossible odds, unfriendly locals, and a totally new environment.

“Cool Runnings” is based on the true story of the first Jamaican bobsled team to try to make it into the winter Olympics.  After being disgraced for cheating in the winter Olympics bobsledding event Irving Blitzer (John Candy) moves to Jamaica to start over.  Several years later a young sprinter dreams of going to the games.  But after he fails to qualify he runs into Irving and decides going as a bobsledder would be just as great.  He and a group of young Jamaicans make it to the games where they are laughed at and must ultimately prove that they deserve to be there.

Memorable Quotes:

Sanka Coffie: What I am saying to you, is that you are the kind of club-toting, raw-meat-eating, Me-Tarzan-You-Jane-ing big bald bubblehead that can only count to ten if he’s barefoot or wearing sandals.

Irwin Blitzer: Gentlemen, a bobsled is a simple thing.  Man: Yeah, so’s a toilet!
