Lately I've had a lot of free time (aka I've been at home in quarantine) so I've been watching a lot of skateboarding movies. I decided to put together a list of the best skateboarding movies to watch, but honestly there's so many skate movies out there it's hard to rank them all.
If you feel like I left any good skate movies off the list just leave a comment so other people can see it!

I know there’s not a lot of skating in it, but I’m surprised KIDS didn’t make the cut.

[@alricpage1666]

the movie KIDS is mainly focused on how HIV can spread easily for adolescents/teenagers. From what I recall, I could only remember 2-3 scenes with skateboarding, so I understand why it wasn't on the list

[@312chinola3]

Ya that jonah hill movie sucked it was corny af watered down Version. There are hella skaters in kids.

[@joseh.749]

Connor Ryan also in mid90s....

[@joseh.749]

Connor Ryan verizon?

[@skatewiener3093]

poovidepev yeah that’s what’s presented to the audience. There’s a lot more to it than the spread of HIV throughout teens. You can’t judge this movie off of face value. If you really wanna get the full experience, you need to do some research into the movie.

[@yungicedtea5380]

Mid90s I watch like 3 weeks ago and it’s really good, funny, and really did a good job standing out from other skateboarding movies. I agree with his ratings

[@The.realgoose]

This gon sound corny asf but that movie inspired me

[@kazyyss]

Kids (1995) was pretty good too. It's not concentrated around skateboarding, but it features some pros, especially from ZooYork. In my opinion every skater should watch it.

[@Therealnugg]

When I watch mid90s it takes me back to when time was simple 🤘🏼😌

[@harrypotter8984]

Psh I wish I grew up in the 90s, looked easier to live and everyone knew each other and played outside and stuff like that.

[@j0p117]

[@claysoggyfries]

You didn’t even mention Gleaming the Cube 😔

[@alittlecrinkley232]

Yeah man that movie was rad

[@markmonge7947]

Gleaming shouldnt have made it

[@SchnitzeIkuchen]

Agree, that was my favorite skateboarding movie when growing up 🥰

[@grandchawhee5445]

no you dont want the black wheels!!!

[@jamesconroy7030]

I think that's what he was talking about in the beginning when he said something like, You can tell that the people involved had no idea about skateboarding. Which makes them super hard to watch.

[@daver2190]

Dogtown and Z Boys should’ve been mentioned when you talked about Lords Of Dogtown, it was the precursor to Lords and it was one I rented from Blockbuster at least once a month. Also Gleaming The Cube needs to be on this list. It’s a classic

[@abeardwithtattoos]

GtC.. where else can you find Christian Slater be played by Mike McGill and Rodney Mullen in the same montage?! haha

[@dylanh8659]

You forgot the Search for Animal Chin! It's an 80's classic about the Bones Brigade

[@SkateBox]

Even though it has a plot I felt like that was more of a skate video than a movie! Definitely a classic though!

[@petefromdownthestreet680]

Dogtown and Z Boys is a must watch documentary, so good. The non dramatised version of Lords of Dogtown and also directed by Stacy Peralta

[@marknalliah9053]

Gleaming the Cube! Had Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullen doing the air and freestyle for Christian Slater.

If someone had told me back in the day that the main guy from Thrashin would grow up to be Thanos, I wouldn't believe it.

[@markmonge7947]

My man I cant believe you left off "The search for Animal Chin" it's all good though. Good picks and I learned about a one I havnt seen

[@mpt3261]

just watched Lords of Dogtown cuz of your recommendation, so good

[@lorenzodelre7001]

I do believe that you done something really interesting with this brief essay of yours.Thanks dude. Being born in 76 I'm a lot into the film Thashing. Another flick that stiked my gen was "gleaming the cube" starring Chris Slater. Have you watched that one, yet? It's a cute pictuer. Too bad that Mid 90 did not got distr here in Italy and that Skate kitchen got in few theatres for a week or two only. I agree that girl skaters are, each day a bit more, increasing in numbers and with such a fine techinique!

[@ejdmmsolc2172]

Thanks for tips

[@rahmanpermana4741]

i was around 8 years old when i found about Grind just playing randomly on TV and my mom would told me to turn it off cos she thought it was a movie for "adults"

[@skatedripgod7201]

Daisuke young it dont matter what age you are to skate

[@jamesgriesbach9153]

Gleaming the Cube is my favourite. It included the Bones Brigade. There’s some awesome riding and the sound track works awesome for the movie.

[@markmcgowan1126]

Mid 90's got me into skating and its also hell funny

[@DiffuseOne]

Mid 90's reminded me of when I first started skating. Lords of Dogtown is great. Thrashn' is cool. Grind is just pure comedy lol

[@dasher607]

I love the bones brigade doc! It's one of my favorite movies. All This Mayhem is the only one I haven't seen. I've heard of it though and the 900 controversy. I'll definitely check it out. Thrashin is Romeo and Juliet as a skateboard movie. I'm not even exaggerating. If you've read Romeo and Juliet, you can totally tell. It's a super goofy film but it is fun to watch if you try not to take it too seriously.

[@oranprentice6773]

Gleaming the cube!!

[@Luey2.0]

I'm not a skater but I would like to be in the future (when I have enough money to buy a skateboard). However mid90s was an amazing film. I absoutely love it!

[@clairenash8448]

I think if skate kitchen had had a different director to help the kids who weren't actors, it could have been so much better. Some of the shots were cool and artsy, and I dug the female representation. But I just wasn't that in to the story or the acting. It made it feel really slow moving unfortunately.

[@mcambiaso]

yea tbh a lot of scenes were too slow and the acting just wasnt the best. besides that though, i really enjoyed it

[@jaydapeterson4054]

Mid 90s got me into skating

[@wakeinfright5498]

Thrashin’, Gleaming the Cube, and Search For Animal Chin. Yeah I know I was born in 75’, but these are accurate staples in skateboarding history and pop culture!

[@jasonlansdell7169]

Stoked, Rise and Fall of the Gator? Another good watch

[@gamesincharacter5106]

The bones brigade got me into skateboarding. Rodney Mullen got me into freestyle and then later I tried doing vert ricks like some tony hawk creates, the Mc twist etc.

[@gamesincharacter5106]

Gleaming the cube was a awesome skateboard movie. It’s about a skateboarder named Brian (played by Christen Slater) finding out what happened to his Vietnamese brother. It’s a very interesting film I suggest u check it out (love your content skate box) also check out police academy 4 (it has a pretty awesome skateboard scene).

[@matthewiscooolbruh]

Fail! How did “Gleaming the Cube” not make this list?!

[@MagikFingers420]

Its not really a sk8ing movie, even tho Rodney Mullen kills it as Christians sk8 double. And it has Tony Hawk too, and its a great movie which i had to download and rewatch as an adult.

[@robertgriffith3416]

Yeah Grind made the list but somehow Gleaming the Cube was left off. This dude has no idea what he's taking about!

[@saucy1000]

Thrashing got me into skating! My favourite skate movie! And the list is all aweso but... you forgot “gleaming the cube” check that one out too! It’s an action type movie that makes skateboarding its focus

[@ohhello6365]

I skateboard because I think it’s a really beautiful sport and like how Rodney Mullen said it’s a way to express myself, and how you can show yourself in your style and specific traits like your favorite board or if you love to skate vert or park or street, it’s just a way for people to show themselves and I believe that’s what skateboarding is
