I think every gymnast and fan has a love-hate thing with gymnastics movies. Though we love to see gym go mainstream, the movies are usually fantastically unrealistic and full of cheese. With that in mind, here are some clips from infamous American gymnastics movies:

You forgot “White Palms” and “Gymkata”
White Palms isn’t American, is it? I thought it was European — maybe Hungarian or German?
I think Stick It is only winning because it’s recent. American anthem is the master of cheesy gymnastics movies!
not all of them are unrealistic!
some people really do get eatingd disorders when they get to gymnastics (perfect body)
My fave was “Stick It”.
I loved stick it, it’s still my favourite gymnastic movie of all time! it’s got a modern twist! who doesn’t like it?
