Chariots of Fire

It put me to sleep very quickly after the movie started... I woke up at about the halfway mark of the movie... tried watching it another 5 minutes... then I got up and walked out of the theater.

Yeah I wouldn't watch it since it looked like a really boring Oscar winning movie (surprise surprise)

Love Chariots of Fire. Gave a great feel of the old English University life and amateur athletics.

I was a sprinter in my youth so I got it, but I can understand why people don't ... as Sam Mussabini says "sprinting is tailor-made for neurotics."

Has Naked Gun been mentioned ? ... So funny.

Just thought of “The Man From Snowy River”. I watched it I don’t know how many times on cable.

They don't make 'em like that anymore. I think there was a law passed.

Definitely.

Cannonball Run. Nice pull.

I was going to add Smokey and the Bandit, but that came out in ‘77.
