Eddie the Eagle is a really inspiring movie! I also watched the Bouncer from the list, but he's very average.

@IL-2: I immediately thought of "Tonya vs all" and "Secrets of Alaska". And then I remembered the TV series "Clinging to the ice."
But for the finale, my memory dug up a super comedy with a unique duet and a crazy element ( Steel Lotus ) - The Blade of Glory .
