If this isn't a classic, I don't know what is (that's only semi-sarcastic).
1992's "The Cutting Edge" tells the story of Doug Dorsey (played by D.B. Sweeney) and Kate Moseley (played by Moira Kelly).
Doug is a professional hockey player who is forced to leave the game after an eye injury. Kate is a spoiled figure skater whose prima donna attitude drives away countless skating partners. So when Kate's coach is forced to find her a new partner, he tracks down Doug who is eager just to skate again whether it's in the game of hockey or not.
So what happens when a macho hockey player and spoiled figure skater team up to skate in the Olympic Games? Pure magic.
Now, just because I'm suggesting this movie for Flashback Friday by no means insinuates that I'm condoning the writing, acting, or general plotlines of the film. It does mean that if it's on TV I can't pass up watching it.
...Though I will say that this is some of D.B. Sweeney's finest work. And that's including his impeccable performance in the short-lived Kelly Osbourne teen drama "Life As We Know It."
