"You'll be fine."
"No, I'm gonna be like Charles Schultz!"

I'm gonna go out and say it , this is the best skateboarding movie ever.
There isn't much competition. Gleaming the cube?? Grind? Hm... There aren't many more 'skateboarding' movies that even come to mind.

Freddy Got Fingered , I would contend has enough skateboarding scenes, to be a skating movie, combined with the Jackass-style sense of humor, the main character skates and he brings his skateboard with him in the car everywhere. Not to mention numerous skating scenes, Eg. Mini ramp, the mall.

Therefore I contend this is THE best skateboarding movie, if not only for the fact that Grind was a total piece of garbage and Gleaming the Cube isn't much better.

Funny that I'd say Thrashin' and Lords of Dogtown are tops. Haven't seen every one chumba gives here. Hang loose.

The Search for Animal Chin.

I meant like ,actual feature films from major studios.

Not just skateboarding movies in general.
If we're talking about all skateboarding videos, I have a few favorites but Blind Video Days would be #1 for me. Also I like H Street Shackle Me Not and Hokus Pokus.

Got it. Makes sense.

There's only one, then there's everything else. The Search for Animal Chin.

CKY probably still holds the crown for best "skater movie" but Freddy Got Fingered is definitely up there for a film with incidental skateboarding.

Theres one called "mid-90s" thats a little newer than those mentioned

[–] chumbawampa (733) 10 days ago

Yeah, I wouldn't watch anything directed by Jonah Hill, or starring him for that matter. Looking at the screencaps, it looks NOTHING LIKE the mid 90s which is when I grew up so I would know. Looks like a bunch of zillenials dressed like they THINK the 90s looked. Fuck everything about that movie. It's just a stupid attempt to cash in on 90s nostalgia. The fact that kind of crap was even made just irritates me but then again, it's Jonah Hill. It's like "The Wackness". It's like what 35 year old soccer dads in 2008 want to think the 90s was like.
