6 Best Cheerleading Movies of All Time

By Vlad Zakh · March 12, 2026

Cheerleading mixes athletic precision with high school rivalry, which is a reliable recipe for comedy. Bring It On and Bring It On Again are the genre’s benchmarks, Fired Up! sends two football stars to cheer camp purely to meet girls, and Poms has retirement-home residents forming a competitive squad. Sugar & Spice and Miss Virginia head off in sillier and more serious directions.
