What good books and films are there about figure skating?

I really would like to find some figure skating books and films. Do you know of any good ones?

I have already seen both versions of Ice Castles, and I'm reading the book by Ice Leonore Fleischer. I have also read White Boots by Noel Streatfeild.

Thanks in advance!

I would prefer fiction, but non-fiction are good, too.

Update:

Oops, I forgot that I've seen Blades of Glory and also Ice Princess. I haven't seen them as recently, so maybe I will se them again, thanks!

    Book - http://figureskating.about.com/od/figureskatingboo...

    There are two "Cutting Edge" sequels with different actors/actresses called "Cutting Edge II" and "Cutting Edge III," but the first one is the best, even though it's a bit racy.

    On January 23, 2010, the Hallmark Channel is airing a new original movie called "Ice Dreams." It looks like a great family movie to enjoy with your favorite skaters.

    It's being played a few more times through the end of January, so check the schedule if you miss the premiere.

    Almost forgot: there is a classic movie called "Ice Castles" that is a little dated and far-fetched, but everyone loves the touching story. It's from the late 1970's but it's still available and occasionally songs from the soundtrack turn up as skater's programs.

    There is a modern-day remake of "Ice Castles" that just finished filming. It stars Taylor Firth, a real Senior Ladies competitor from the United States. There's a trailer online for the movie here: http://www.mefeedia.com/movie/27283807

    Sugar and Ice is a great book. It is middle-grade and just came out. The author is Kate Messner. I read it and LOVED it.
